20 years ago, I was being evaluated by a psychiatrist, who was a foreigner with a foreign accent and English as a second language.

There was a vending machine where I lived, and it sold cans of Coke, Sprite, and Hawaiian Punch. I had been choosing the latter, as the "lesser of evils" because it didn't contain caffeine, and perhaps the Vitamin C was not harmful.

So she asked about my diet and habits, and I told her "I've been drinking a lot of Hawaiian Punch." and then she responded that that was very bad for me and I nodded solemnly, and as the conversation progressed into more dissonance, I said "Hawaiian Punch doesn't contain alcohol!"

And she said "Oh, I thought you said you had been drinking a lot of wine punch."
