This is a great one!

When I immigrated I had financed my first vehicle through an institution that often helps expats, veterans, and active military secure financing. So when I went to the dealership the dealer, who was a veteran, seemed to think I was a vet too and started asking me about where and when I served.

Instead of trying to explain my entire situation and life history up to that point, I just said in my clearly foreign accent, “Sorry. I’m not at liberty to say.”

The dude’s eyes narrowed and then noticeably widened. Once he came to his own conclusion, he was like, “Oh! Yes. Of course! Forget I even asked!”

Hahahaha!
