This happened to my friend Tony. He was taking an introduction to photography course (since then he's gone on to be a wonderful photographer) and the teacher was talking about how colors are used in photography and how different colors evoke different feelings...
Teacher: "So what sort of feelings do you have when you think of the color blue?"
Girl: (raises her hand) "The sky!"
Teacher: "Ok, yes, the sky is blue, but what kind of feel does the color blue have?"
Girl: "The ocean!"

"Who's Hiro Shima? Is he a boy?"
