Here's an excerpt from a conversation I overheard at work today between two of my co-workers.
Person A: Yeah, it's just like with those two groups that are at odds with each other right now: the Sunni and the... uh, wait, what's the other one called again?
Person B: (Thinks for a moment, and then, in a completely serious tone) The Cherokee?
Person A: ...
...Seriously, I couldn't make this shit up if I wanted to.
Edit: I also believe it needs to be said that Person B is the head of an entire department here at work.
