Good to know

One of the guys at work was trying to get me help him with a problem.
"See, if it doesn’t hit this pin here, it falls at the rate of gravity," he said.
"9.8 meters per second per second?" I asked.
"That’s what it normally is on Earth."
"And, we’re on Earth?"
"Do you have reason to believe we aren’t?"
"I am less certain today that some days," I replied.
He jumped up and down a bit.
"Feels like Earth gravity to me," he said.
"Good to know."
