Freudian slip?

Let me tell a story for comparison: {/begin Hijack} As y'all may have heard, I sing in a church choir. So most of the people I see regularly on Sunday morning are accustomed to seeing me before the service in an ankle-length purple cassock, but they may not know me by name.

If I run into them elsewhere, I'm "out of context" and it sometimes takes a moment for them to place me. This usually happens when I run into a respectable matronly citizen at the grocery. We smile and say hello; she gets the look "I know this face, but why and where." I introduce myself, we establish that she sees me in the choir regularly.

Then she says: "I didn't recognize you with your clothes on." When she realizes what it sounds like to a bystander, then we both bust out laughing.
