I was in the CVS on Spring Garden St. getting some pictures of Peru printed for my Mother. The man at the counter was flipping through them and ventured a guess on where I had been.
Elderley Gentleman: "That high plain, where you were, what's that called?"
Me: "Machu Pichu?"
EG: "Yeah, that's the one, they found some whale bones up there, if you can believe it."
M: (Absently, feigning interest) "Wow, that's incredible"
EG: "It's only incredible if you believe in evolution."
M: (At this point he has my full attention.) "Oh yeah? It's from the flood?"
EG: "Yes it is. I have learned a lot about a lot of things since I got a computer."
M: (Disengaging, slowly...) "Well that's really interesting, thanks so much."
EG: "Have a blessed day."
