I remember once I used the idiom "Are you pulling my leg?" to a hispanic. He gave me a crazed look like "I am not pulling on your leg! I have not touched your leg!" I explained it to him and he was funny in his response. He was shaking his head 'yes' that he now understood the idiom, but was saying 'no' that he was not lying to me. I couldn't help but giggle.
I remember hearing that one long ago, and the first time I was taking it literally.
