This whole thread reminds me of a joke (well,...) that I had heard the first time more than 50 years ago:

Dialogue between two friends meeting on the street:
- Hi, would you like to come fishing with me?
- No time, I'm on my way to the beach to go fishing.
- Ah, OK, I thought you were going fishing...

I know, not funny, but as informative as the posts above!
