A couple of years back I became an unwitting witness to a moronic scene in a pet shop. A middle-aged woman with her teenage daughter were inspecting rodents.
Woman (addressing the shop assistant): Um... This little hamster here seems to have a growth. Is that a growth, that? Shop Assistant: No. It's a male.
(you'd have thought she'd be better aquaited with the mammalian reproductory systems... oh well.)
