That's easy to believe. I have done the Delhi Deli twice, and while it's fun, you do feel like a zombie afterwards.

To me, it sounds as if the agent either was genuinely interested in the concept or was familiar with it and wanted to check whether you're a true idiot or just making things up and came into the US for a few hours with bad intentions.

Oh, and on the AY forum, idiot is a compliment. See this thread for more vocabulary: AY forum dictionary / slang tutorial
