Bwahaha... I wish...
No it's for my research-- I study interactions of ion beams and whatnot, and to do precision work I have to have the experimental chamber very clean and contamination free. This requires ultra-high vacuum conditions, which means that the pressure in the chamber is very low, on the order of 10^(-10) Torr, about 10^(-7) mmHg. So I have a variety of vacuum pumps for this purpose and it takes a long-a$$ time to get the system pumped down to where I can take data and whatnot..
And this is how you can tell a physicist in a bar... We always end up talking about physics and whatnot... Bwahaha...
Awright kids, I gotta go learn how to kill myself on a motorcycle! WhooOHOOOOOO!!! Send flowers if I ain't back in a week!
Good luck with TJ, Joe... He was gettin' smarmy so I was tryin' to smarm back, but that's gettin' old real fast, haha...
THE VALUE OF UNDERWEAR !
Be careful what you wear (or don't wear), when working under your
vehicle...especially in public.
From the Sydney Morning Herald Australia comes this story of
a central west couple who drove their car to K-Mart only to have
their car break down in the parking lot. The man told his wife to
carry on with the shopping while he fixed the car there in the lot.
The wife returned later to see a small group of people near the
car. On closer inspection she saw a pair of male legs protruding
from under the chassis. Although the man was in shorts, his lack
of underpants turned private parts into glaringly public ones.
Unable to stand the embarrassment she dutifully stepped forward,
quickly put her hand UP his shorts, and tucked everything back into
place. On regaining her feet, she looked across the hood and found
herself staring at her husband who was standing idly by.
The mechanic, however, had to have three stitches in his head.
