A Not-So-Obvious Question

npr:

So I’m getting my visa at Beirut’s airport this afternoon and the immigration officer says, “I need to ask you a question.”

“Okay,” I said.

“Please spell obvious.”

“Excuse me?” I replied.

“Perhaps I did not ask correctly; spell obvious, please.”

“You mean O B V I O U S?”

“Yes,” he continued. “Now please pronounce it.”

“Obvious.”

“So it is OB-vi-ous and not ob-VI-ous in English?”

“Yes.”

“Okay, you may go now. Welcome to Lebanon.”
