I was reflecting yesterday on the fun I get showing my collection to guests, and talking about meteorites to non-hobbyists. It got me thinking that there are some standard questions which come up time and again.

* "Where do you get them from?" [One of the few opportunities to use the line 'I buy from dealers by the gram' in polite conversation :) ]

* "How do you know they haven't just gone to the local DIY store and bought a bag of gravel?" [or various versions of this]

* "How do you know it really comes from Mars/the Moon/the asteroids?"

...and  I suppose if the conversation comes round to it:

* "HOW much???" :)


I wondered if other list members had any fun regular (or occasional) ones to share?
