True story:
Was on a date last year with a gentleman. We were in his living room having a glass of wine before we went out for dinner. During our "chit chat" he points out his "newest prized possession" - conversation piece - cool. He shows me a meteorite. He tells me, "Pick it up. See how heavy it is." I am wearing white and this thing is covered in black "space shmutz". (no brownie points there) I immediately ask, "Where do you buy something like that?.... Ebay?!" He answers, "Yes." So the first question that comes to my mind was, "How do you know it's real?"
*crickets chirping*
His initial response (after he recovered from the screeching hault his mind had just suffered) was, "Well, the card that came in the box said it was authentic."
I replied, "Ohhhhhhhhhh so THAT's how you know it's real. Because the people who you bought it from SAID IT IS."
I then continued on (I really should have put down the glass of wine and STFU at this point LOL), "Damn, I bet you weren't thinking about its authenticity after you entered your credit card numbers and hit the send button." LOL
Finally - to really put a nail in the coffin of this deader-than-dead before it even got started date - I said, "Where would you even take the thing to test whether or not it's real?.... the meteorite authenticity testing place on ebay?.... word of advice - don't do it if it is run by the people that sold it to you!"
hehehehehehehehehee
Between giggles (I swear to God I wasn't laughing at him, but at the silliness of the situation) I said, "You know something? You have too much money. I couldnt even afford the shipping judging from the weight of that thing - by the way, do you have a wrag or napkin as I can't seem to get the spaceshmutz off of my hands!"
heheheheheheheheheheeeee
