"Sure, it's Friday" "No, I'm sorry, its actually Thursday.. oh, wait, its 2am... I guess it is Friday, sorry" Makes them wonder which one is the confused one... Ah, yes, the orientation questions…

My favorites are, “Do you know where you are right now?”

“Yes, don’t you?”

and the other one, working night shift…

“Can you tell me what day it is?”

“Sure, it’s Friday”

“No, I’m sorry, its actually Thursday.. oh, wait, its 2am… I guess it is Friday, sorry”
