Had a client once who took a look at early comps, with greek dummy text as a placeholder, and asked why the whole ad was in Spanish. Throughout the meeting, he kept asking if we'd be able to change it.

Them - We'd like an estimate for a website.
Me - Great! What would you like your site to convey?
Them - We're not sure yet, that's why we need an estimate for how long it will take, so we can judge what we'd like the site to do.
