"What did he say Martha?"
"What did who say."
"The voice. the unidentified voice coming from the direction of the pitch."
"Oh that."
"Did you hear it clearly? Do you know what he said?"
"Donno Stanley, sounded like 'that bat's voice has a very high pitch."
"Well of course it does! It's a bat isn't it"
"I suppose it would wouldn't it?"
"Yes, Yes, I suppose it would."
"They use it to find bugs you know."
"Who does?"
"The bats."
"The bats. The bays use their voices to find bugs."
"Are you kidding me?"
"No I heard Terry Jones say it on some nature program."
"Who is Terry Jones?
"The Monty Python Terry Jones."
"You heard it from a snake called Terry on a nature show, that bats find bugs with their voices.
"That is the most ridiculous thing I have ever heard!"
"It was produced by the BBC."
"Ah yes the BBC."
"With funding from PBS."
"Well that explains it then."
"Really?"

"Forbidden fruit?"
"Yeah a talking snake giving forbidden knowledge to naive people. It happens in America all the time. They call it "Conservative Talk Radio."
