speaking of WoW:

see?

They asked me why I was visiting Canada. I was to visit a friend I met on World of Warcraft, Cara. They took down her name and what I could remember of her address. They asked me how we met.

"In an online game."

"What online game?"

"Umm ... World of Warcraft," I responded meekly.

"What kind of game is this?"

"It's a fantasy game ... it takes place online."

"Fantasy ... like it's got wizards and warlocks?"

"Well, it's got warlocks."

Having got the wizards and warlocks issue straight, the police then moved on to the matter of Cara:

They asked me to describe my relation to Cara. I told them that people meet up in the game and go on adventures together, and that Cara and I were in a guild together that I was the leader of. They confused the concept of a guild with the game, however, and I had them believing that I was the Lord and Leader of all of WoW until I was able to correct them, and explain to them what a guild was.
