*Lab starts*

Grace: Professor, why does the oscilloscope start flatlining when I change the pulse frequency to 200?
Professor: Well...*explanation*

*more lab*

Professor: Can you tell me why the voltage iterations are so large here?
Grace: Because it's a digitally converted signal? Um...? *further babbling*

*more lab. lab ends. Grace begins to pack up her oscilloscopes and leave*

Professor: Before you go - you're from Glasgow, aren't you?
Grace: Yeeess. How so, Professor?
Professor: Well, I lived there for seven years when I was growing up. What part of Glasgow?
Grace: Bzuh? Well, Partick originally...
Professor: Me too! I lived beside the West of Scotland Cricket pitch! I am a rabid fan of Partick Thistle!

*Cue ten minute discussion of Scottish football*

That was moderately surreal. The one thing I am left wondering is how he survived seven years in a Glasweigan primary school with the last name "Peacock".
