Stop and say Hello

I used to work with a guy who constantly made fun of my beliefs. He lived about 14 miles out of town on his father's small cattle ranch. Whenever discussion turned to UFO's and the paranormal he would ridicule everybody who actually admitted that perhaps there was something to it.

One day he asked in a mocking voice, "Well why don't they ever stop and say hello?"

And I snapped back, "How many times have you stopped to say hello to all the cows you drive past every day?"

I admit that it was not the greatest comeback of all time but it did put a halt to his ridicule. He actually seemed to listen more intently to the stories by everyone at work after that. And he admitted later that his father had had some freaky experiences as well.
