This one time a few months back I bumped into a guy I know and we got to chatting. Asked what he was up to, he said he was on a farm these days, and I said "that's cool". Really, I'd managed to mishear him somehow, and he'd actually said that he'd inherited his father's farm, who had just passed away.

Did the guy seem perplexed at how his situation could be construed as "cool?"

He just looked at me and said "you think it's cool that my dad is dead?"
