I think I was the stupid colleague...
Last year, on our uni course, we were sent to study education in alternative settings and this included a museum/art gallery. We sat in front of a big family portrait, and the lady leading the session was talking about how people can make themselves look better than they are. She pointed to a different portrait of a rather large lady in a blue dress; "for example, this lady [the baroness of something or other] has had herself painted to look like the Goddess Fortuna..."

I couldn't figure that out and had to ask the person next to me "Fortuna? Like, she was the goddess of fish?"

Not my finest hour.
