My ex-wife and me divorced amicably, so we still talk.
One day, about two years after separtion she called me whether I still had my credit card.
(Typically we pay by payment cards called ec or giro card - but they don't habe a credit card number, so not usable for ordering something from overseas)
So I said, yes, why. "Uhm, I want to buy something from the US" she answerf with skirting around the topic.
A certain assumption forms in my mind, as she speaks on I'm getting more sure every moment.
I answer: Look, , don't try to order the Hitachi Magic Wand from the US. It can't be imported due to the no-lead-in-electric-devices law. And even if it arrived you 'd need a transformer for plugging it into our 230V system. Just buy one of the knockoffs available on Amazon in Europe
She : "Um (pause), OK"
Some years later my teenage kids found it when they were at her place. They asked her what it was and she said "a microphone". I swear by my kids, the "it is a microphone" meme happened once in my family in real life. (And of course these teenagers knew what it was).
"Gee Mom, it smells like fish"
