I was waiting for that one
My coworker's girlfriend just took this phone call at work. Seriously. Those damn liberals just knocked the moon right out of the night time! Butch McCain is our local weatherman, and possibly a part-time superhero based on his name.
Me: 11 News.
Idiot Woman: Yes, can you ask Butch McCain to explain during the weather tonight why I can see the moon right now?
Me: Umm.
Idiot Woman: Yeah, I can see the moon. And it's the middle of the day and I want to know why.
Me: Uhh.
Idiot Woman: I mean, my husband says it's because they shot a rocket at it. But I was hoping Butch could tell me if that's true.
Me: You want to know why you can see it in the middle of the day?
Idiot Woman: Yes. I've never seen it in the middle of the day before.
Me: I don't believe that's an unusual occurrence. In a nutshell, it has to do with the moon phase, the location of the moon, sun and earth in relationship to each other. Sometimes you can see it during the day, sometimes you can't... but I've seen it during the day a lot of times. I think you can look it up on the Internet or any book about the moon phases.
Idiot Woman: Oh, really? I've never seen it before. Well, thanks. I guess... (click)
