Happened to me too (Score:3, Funny)

First time I went to OSCon I was quite worried because it was the first time I was going back to the US after they'd almost kicked me out for working illegally. Yet it went:

# standard beginning me: I'm giving a talk at a conference him: about what? me: computer stuff him: what computer stuff? me: XML and stuff him: yeah, but what about XML? me: (slightly surprised) err, it's about "XPath APIs" [this was a while back] him: oh nice, could you write XSLT extensions with those? * stunned silence* me: err, sure... him: Great! Have fun! Welcome to the US!

Quite frankly, it made me wonder what kind of training they go through. Also, I did worry about the IT economy in the US for a while ;)
