Overhead a conversation on the train. A guy used his step counter app to record the distance he walked in a week and divided by the volume of beer he'd drunk in the same period to get a miles-per-gallon figure for himself. Apparently it was nothing to write home about (which I could have guessed...).

I asked the waiter once, "is the haddock fresh?" She said, "oh yes! We just thawed it out today."
Some, living in landlocked states, will absurdly ask this question about seabound fish. In, e.g., Topeka: Is this fish fresh? Yes, I just sprinted 1500 miles to the Atlantic( pacific) and back the last 15 minutes.

Though the question may make sense in the UK, where no one lives more than, maybe 30 minutes from the coast.
