I went downstairs to fetch dinner. I overheard Alex ask for some Dr. Pepper.
Daniel Hoffmann: We don't have any, we only have Dr. K. Which is the same thing.
Alex: Nah, it's cool. I'll have Root Beer.
Me: Alex, what's the chemical symbol for Sodium?
Alex: K.
Me: So you have Dr. Salt and Dr. Pepper! They should get married!
Alex: That's horrible.
Me: Shut up. It's the cleverest thing I've said all night.
Alex: That does not bode well for your paper.
Either Mindi or Geoff: Wait, isn't K the symbol for Potassium? Isn't Sodium Na?
Daniel: Yeah! Alex, weren't you a chemistry major?
Alex: I'm just tired. And besides, technically you can also make salt from Potassium.
