Ignorance plus power
On a family holiday a few years back we'd stopped into a supermarket in Somerset to pick up some provisions for the week so along with enough food for six people, we'd also got a crate of beer and a few bottles of wine on the checkout. The operator insisted on seeing ID for everyone present despite the fact that none of us were under 30 and some were over 60. So with some grumbling, driving licences were produced for her to scrutinise and she seemed satisfied with them until she got to my partner's, which appeared to cause her some confusion. She looked up at us both and asked, in all seriousness, "Is Canada in Europe?"

I was about to answer sarcastically, but she went on to say "...because I can only accept European driving licences as valid ID."

"Yes," I said with a straight face. "Canada is in Europe."

Yeah
Who'd have thought the Somerset constabulary take such a dim view of geographical falsehoods
lol

Obviously a total lie.
A crate of beer and a few bottles of wine wouldn't last 6 people an evening, much less a week. Take your massive QOTW lies and shove them up your arse.
