That's a hoot! I had the exact conversation with someone last year at
a "real" show, but don't remember where... I do have a shot of snow in
branches that looks like an angel/fairy, and I showed it to this
woman. But she turned it over and looked at the back, where the title
read "Snow Fairy", and she said, "But that's a fairy... not an angel".
Some folks really are clueless, and it's hard to keep from busting a
gut right in their face. But I held it together until she left.
