Waiting for check-in to open at Tokyo airport (Catherine Tate would have been proud...)

Me: They have a lot of Gods in Japan, don't they?

Stu: Do they?

Me: Yes. They do. Guess how many they have?

Stu: I don't know.

Me: Well, have a guess.

Stu: I really don't know.

Me: Well, GUESS!

Stu: 4

Me: 4?!!!

Stu: Well, I don't know!

Me: 4!

Stu: OK, a billion then.

Me: A BILLION?!!!

Stu: I don't know!

Me: A BILLION GODS! You think the Japanese worship a billion Gods?

Stu: They might do.

Me: The population the size of Japan and they have 100 Gods... EACH?!

Stu: I told you I don't know.

Me: A billion Gods?!

(Pause)

Stu: How many you they have then?

Me: 8 million.

Stu: Really?

Me: Yes. They have 8 million Gods. Which I think is alot. Not a billion granted but alot. 

Stu: OK. That is alot.

(Pause)

Stu: Where shall we eat?
