My girlfriend and I both have black hair. When she was making a crude joke, I realised that she thought people's pubic hair matched the colour of the hair on their head! We were in our early twenties at the time.
I guess it's perfectly logical, as people's body hair varies in colour, and she just hadn't seen the pubic hair of anyone who didn't have black hair.
I gave her a hard time about it for a few weeks, though.
