Yes, And Those Fluffy Things In The Sky Are Cotton Balls


The following exchange occurred between a park ranger and a visitor at the entrance station to a national park in the western U.S. Rising up in front of the visitor's windshield was a range of pointy, snow-capped peaks stretching from horizon to horizon.
 
Visitor: [Pointing to the mountains] "Can you tell me what that white stuff is up there? Is it some sort of chemical?"
 
Park Ranger: [After long, uncomfortable pause in which she gives the visitor a squinty-eyed sideways look, hoping it's a joke. It's not.] "That's snow."
 
Visitor: "Really?"
 
Park Ranger: "Yes, really."
 
Park Ranger then desperately searches the small entrance station kiosk for something sharp to jab into her own throat but, alas, all such implements have been removed specifically to preclude just such an honorable suicide in the face of abject stupidity.

Wait, are you SURE those aren't chemicals up there? Because if I look that up on Google I bet I can find some evidence to prove you wrong.

Well, technically, it's two hydrogens and an oxygen, frozen. So it is chemistry.

But that makes it no less stupid.

One can only help that visitor had a tumor that caused visions of white stuff. That would be a legitimate excuse, right?

This reminds me of when I went to a concert at a huge arena and pulled into a nearby parking lot packed with cars and people walking to the venue.
The lady in the car in front of me spoke loud enough that I could hear with my window rolled down.

Lady in car: (to the parking attendant) Where is the arena?

Attendant: Uh, that way (points to enormous arena two blocks away)

Lady in car How do I get there?

Attendant: silence.

ME: (yelling) Follow the hundreds of people!
