No, I Was't A Hooker

Conversation with a Tim Horton's customer:
Upon hearing that I used to live in Ottawa,
Him: Oh, what did you do there?
Me: I was a public servant.
Him: Whaddya mean you were a public servant? Is that like a prostitute?
Me: Uhh, no - I worked for the government.
Him: Ahh, so you were on welfare.
Me: What? Speechless at this point...

What? Hahaha! Sorry, but I had to laugh. Were do people get their notions on "public service" and on conversational etiquette?
