I get overly literal and technical all the time. (Well, not all the time ... just occasionally, to be literal about it.)
Oh, look a helicopter! Do you suppose the people inside know they’re in a helicopter?
Yes, it looks like you have heard the joke:
Heavy fog...
Pilot instructs Passenger to write note (”Where are we?”) to workers looking out the windows of an office building which they are hovering near.
Workers write note back, “You’re in a helicopter.”
Pilot immediately flies a direct course to the airport.
Passenger, “How were you able to find the airport based on that totally inept answer?”
Pilot, “When the answer to my question was technically accurate, but absolutely useless, I knew that had to be the MicroSoft building, and I know how to find the airport from the MicroSoft building!”
PS Victoria, BC? If so, can I get a job driving one of the Tugboat (”Weebles”) Water Taxis? We LOVE Victoria!
