Roomie: I wonder what kind of bird that is...
Me: I think it's an oriole.
Roomie: Never heard of it.
Me: You never heard of an oriole?
Roomie: Nope.
Me: How could you never hear of an oriole? There's even a baseball team with that name...
the Baltimore Orioles....
Roomie: Oh. I thought they were named after the cookie.
Me: The cookie?.....(momentarily stumped, then...)You mean Oreos?
