One Small Step

*As overheard by me tonight, sitting next to a booth of 5 Irishmen, in the Blue Bayou.

Irish Guy 1
Did you know Louis Armstrong died two days after his 71st birthday? Says so right there on the wall.
Irish Guy 3
Who's Louis Armstrong?
Irish Guy 2
He was an astronaut, stupid!
Irish Guy 3
That was Neil Armstrong, idiot!
Irish Guy 2
You don't know who the hell Louis Armstrong is, and I'm the idiot?
Irish Guy 4
Walked on the moon, didn't he?
Irish Guy 1
Nah, he played the trumpet!
Irish Guy 4
On the moon?
(Okay Okay Okay, so I made up the bit about playing the trumpet on the moon! It made me laugh when the dudes were coming down on #3 for not knowing Louis Armstrong, and then #4 confused him with an astronaut.)
