Today, in my marketing class, we were categorizing musical groups by their age group. Someone asked, "What's a Beatle?" As in "The Beatles". FML

Hi everyone, OP here. Never thought this would get posted. I think the worst part of what happened was that only my teacher one fiend and myself seemed to have noticed. We stared at each other in silence for a bit before I asked my teacher if I could go walk it off. He let me.

Wow, what has our world come to?! I get that the Beatles are an older band, but they're perhaps one of the most famous bands throughout the ages.

I really can't believe they're never even heard of the Beatles. just can't buy this.

As told here, the student didn't say anything about not recognizing the Beatles. The question was "What's a beatle?" Since there is no such thing outside of the band, that's actually a pretty reasonable question. The answer is that the name was a pun. That was probably all that was needed.
