I've got a t-shirt on today with the symbol for Aum (Om), and one of the IT peeps (who's Indian) asked if I knew what it meant. When I said I did and explained, she was quite impressed, and asked if I was Buddhist.
I was relating this to a girl I work beside, and she burst out laughing at the thought that I might be Buddhist. I was a little miffed because (a) what's so funny about the fact I might be Buddhist, and (b) I do tend towards Buddhism in my personal beliefs. Buddhism comes very close to matching my world view and spiritual beliefs.
Still don't know why it should be funny. I should probably have asked her.
