I got a "Bwah?" moment last year in a D&D 3.5 game where a new player was joining an adventuring party. He decided to play a paladin. At the time we were exploring a different dimension to find a keystone or somesuch to prevent an apocalypse back home. So we come upon a temple with the paladin and his flying mount encased in a block of hardened ice which was promptly thawed by our resident wizards. After some language trouble we discover that the paladin had been in stasis for essentially centuries and wanted to know what we were questing for. The rogue in the party who happens to be lawful evil decides to help the GM out by explaining the backstory to our quest both in character and backed up by sincere performance rolls to make it nice and entertaining and appealing to the character. At the end of the presentation the paladin goes, "Ahuh. I see. Well I wish you good luck on your quest and my heartfelt gratitude for thawing me from my prison. I bid you farewell." And then walks out the front doors leaving the rest of the party going huh?
All this without the paladin casting a detect evil spell too!
