I want to say educate yourself before opening your mouth jerk. But I don't. I smile and say how nice you remembered that.
We used to have a sewing day at our local library. Some guy came in and said sort of the same thing. OH BOY. I get to use my favorite response to that. I asked him what breed of horse he had pull his buggy. He looked at me like I was nuts. Then I ask how did you get here. Answer is some type of car, REALLY How can that be real transportation???? I always listen for his words and use them back in the response.
