As we sat there watching Monty Python and the Holy Grail. She rapped on about how if she went back to the middle ages, she would probably be a witch. In fact she would probably be burnt at the stake or drowned or something.
"What do you mean 'If you go back to the middle ages?'" I asked.
"Well, what's so wrong with the concept of time travel?" she said.
I smiled and let the question hang in the air. As she turned her head she saw me smile, and we both started laughing as she realised what she said.
To my surprise she defended her position, arguing that mankind doesn't know everything about the universe, so therefore it could happen. I didn't expect a science graduate to defend the indefensible - I was caught slightly off guard.
"It's ok", I said, "I already know you're from the future".

P.S. afterthought : Maybe she was a member of this Italian cult :
