When someone is describing a club where you can buy an in and out pass that will allow you to dance from 6 am til 4 pm and you are so baffled that you actually put your hand on your cheek and say “what will they think of next?” without being ironic.

Here’s another sports-related one that actually happened to me about 20 years ago while watching TV.
An announcer mentioned “looks like Sal Maglee will be coming out to the mound”. So, I said to myself - “Wow he’s still pitching? All right !!”
Actually, he was now a pitching coach.
