True story: I called a certain organic grocery store to ask whether it carried kaffir lime leaves. The response: “Is that some kind of a cleaner?”

I  figured the employee on the other end of the line had not understood me, so I decided to try the store in person. “Why do you want them?” asked a store clerk. “Don’t you know it’s illegal to sell them in Virginia?”
