I got my first real programming job during my last year of college. The conversation went something like this:

THEM "We use FoxPro here."

ME "What is FoxPro?"

THEM "A database program."

ME "Cool, what language do you program in?"

I suppose it's not a terrible question. One could use the DBFs with some other front end. But I was asking it because I had no idea FoxPro was a programming language. And they still hired me. :)
