While working in the US, I applied for a driving license and took the
test. The written (computerised multiple choice) was easy but the
practical nearly got off to a bad start when the tester asked me to
pull onto the pavement. I quickly realised that he meant the paved
highway aka road and not the sidewalk aka pavement!

As for my smoking colleague who, early on, walked out of a lab
saying that he really needed to have a fag...
