One of my ex-colleagues…
Let’s call her Marie (for that was not her name) used to suffer brain-fade on a regular basis. Highlights included reaching into her handbag for her mobile phone and pulling out her home phone, or on one occasion her TV remote control. My personal favourite though was the melon episode:

Marie used to bring a packed lunch in every day. Nothing fancy, just a couple of sandwiches, maybe some crisps, and a slice of melon. One Monday, she complained that the melon she’d bought wasn’t very nice; it was hard, a bit dry and not very tasty. Reasoning that it probably wasn’t ripe, she soldiered on and said she’d put it somewhere warm to ripen up overnight.

This happened again on Tuesday. And Wednesday. Then on Thursday, she came into the office and announced that she’d found out why her melon wasn’t very nice:

It was a pumpkin.

Well, she may be excused...
If I remember correctly, pumpkins and melons are just cultivars of the same wild melon-pumpkin-ish thing from some african desert.

Actually
melons and gourds are old world and pumpkins and squash are new world.

I have a colleague who told me in no uncertain terms:
"I'm here to answer the phones. That's it. Don't expect me to do maths or anything involving thinking."

I think she's fucking awesome.
