Today some guy decided to rob me of some transfers that were stored in the wastebasket next to my bag and keys, which kind of pissed me off. Later on in the trip though, an elderly lady came up to make small talk.
Lady: I saw in the paper that those people left that Ronald Reagan left a trillion dollars buried at the White House. He buried them in tin cans. 'The Onion News' or something.
Me: That's a humorous newspaper. They make up their stories.
Lady: Yeah, I don't think he would have done that.
(A minute or two of silence)
Lady: You know, I don't think that's true.
Me: Yeah, that whole paper is made up. They're jokes.
Lady: He couldn't have fit a trillion dollars. That would be a lot of cans. I don't know. Maybe.
