One of my ex-husband's favorite jokes to this day is to wait until you're on a road trip and you're sort of out in the middle of nowhere, and then ask as if a little uncertain, "Do you know where we are?" Then after the unwitting dupe of the joke tries speculating about which town might be the nearest: "No, we're *in the car* 🤣😂😆" He managed to catch me out with that one twice when we were first married, and 20 years later, he has never given up hoping he'll get me to fall for it again. More than one niece or nephew has fallen into the trap while a passenger in the car. 😉 He even tried to pull it on me once when we were in flight: Him - Do you know where we are? Me - If you say "in a plane," I'm going to punch you in the arm with all my might. 👊🏼
