Boss: "Oh"
Me (to officer): "Sir, what countries will you be visiting?"
Officer: "UK"
Boss: "Oh no, Ukraine is high threat."
FML. I'm subordinate to these people.

Sounds like your boss didn't do very well in his high school Geography class.
Yesterday afternoon, my aunt in L.A. called and left a message. My mom played the message, and the machine tells you what time the message was left. It said 4:00 PM. In her message, my aunt said that it was 1:00 PM (LA time of course). So here's where the stupid part comes in:
Mom: The machine says the message was left at 4:00, but your aunt called at 1:00. I know she did! She says so in her message! The machine's time must be off.
Me: L.A. is 3 hours behind Toronto, Mom. So if she called us at 4:00, that means it was 1:00 there.
Mom: Ooohhhhh......
WOW.
