I remember many years ago, back in Scotland, I was outside observing Jupiter....the neighbour and his friends rolled up a little worse for wear and asked "what the divil are you doing!!!"
I invited them over to look at Jupiter and said the two bright points visible were the moons of Jupiter.....
The first couple who looked said "Ohh Aye I can see those small Bu****rs"
the last, and obviously under the weather lady, when she looked said "Ohhhh but there's three of those things"
A wink to the others I said "Hmmmm - a bit late in the night for you..."
She staggered across to me and said "Sonny, hiccup, there's nothing wrong with me - it must be your crappy telescope"
I went back to the eyepiece to find a third moon had just appeared!!!
