Did you ever finally get the joke years later?

Did someone ever joke with you, and you were unaware of it. Did you then finally figure out it was a joke years later?

This has happened to me: When I was a kid, I was riding next to my father on the way home from a family trip to Chicago, when I noticed a green-and-white sign on the freeway. It said:

Hi Jamie!

Not a joke but a happening while my early professional timess as a technician makes me ashamed always when I remember to it. I was employed at the steel-construction-company and the only employee in the office. One afternoon being alone in the office while the chief had been in the factory-hall the company received a call on the phone. I took the call speaking my saying: "blabla..steel-construction... my name.....?" Without introducing himself my counterpart started babbling something about pressed carbone. Stupid and busy as I had been I thought about a protection-gas for welding and believed I could make my chief a fortune while informing him immediately. I ran into the work-hall and breathless I told him about the good recommendation. The chief started laughing and made me wonder what had been wrong. Later he explained to me that the caller was speaking about diamants. :oops:
