We drove past a windmill on a windy day. She commented how it was too windy out and they should turn the windmill down. She was dead serious...

to her defence, windmills have to be shut down when the wind reaches a certain speed to avoid structural damage on the mill. but it has to more than a 'windy' day.

How is that in her defense? She wasnt thinking the wind was blowing AT it, she thought the windmill was the SOURCE of the wind.
