Strange folks

This was a strange conversation I had with a complete stranger today. Please keep in mind this was a serious conversation the whole time.

I was in a waiting area and there was another guy there and myself and they were showing some of the footage from the waters in New Orleans. I'll try to quote this as best I can.

Stranger: "You got any people down there?"
Me: "Fortunately no I don't, do you?"
Stranger: "Yes I got some people in Biloxi (and a few other places he mentioned)"
Me: "Have you heard from any of them?"
Stranger: "No not yet.
I never cared for it down there in New Orleans where they built that city so low"
Me: "Yes, it's kind of scary building a city that big below sea level with the water being held back by levies"
(Now this is where it gets good, remember this is a serious conversation with no humor at all.)
Stranger: "Yep, that the exact same thing that happened to Atlantis, they built it below sea level"

At this time amazingly I was able to find something to distract me and leave.
