Yes, and so many times they really, really don't want me to ask it of myself, because my assumptions are at such right angles with theirs.
This is also why I wish people would avoid the rhetorical phrase, "Now, you're probably thinking x." Because I am rarely thinking x. This is not like that "trick" where you can pop out with, "But emus don't live in Denmark!" and amaze your audience.
