One thing I have is an 8' Exploradome on a trailer. It tilts up and lays on the trailer, and looks pretty close to an ICBM warhead. Well, you can imagine all the comments I've gotten. "Gee, ever get a call from Homeland Security?", that kind of thing. Everytime I stop for gas, "Excuse me, but what is that?"
Well, I was coming back from a star party and pulled into a burger place for lunch. I get out of the truck and as I'm walking in, this kid, about 20 comes over and good naturedly says, "What is that?" After the hundreth time of being asked I decided to joke with him a little bit, I gave him one of those, 'did you just grow a third eye or something looks' (the guy knew I was kidding) and said, "It's an observatory, haven't you ever seen one before?" Absolutely without missing a beat, the kid comes back with, "Sure, just never one that smaaaaaaaalllll". We both laughed, I then explained what is was, why someone has one, yada, yada, but the whole rest of the ride home I just chuckled, it made my day.
