OMG!!! That is me. I was just at the restaurant. Getting past the dinner rolls is a chore. I have to take half my meal home as I got full on rolls.:facepalm:
It's a marathon, not a sprint! ;)

Before I retired, I had been using that line in my lectures for decades.
Did you use that G-rated version, or the R-rated morph?

EDIT: PS Youse guyses have been on fire today, meme-wise! Keep up the good work!
 
G-rated. That's what makes it doubly funny.
so... you know, this may be a little risky, but, what the heck!
My thesis advisor (like me) was a carbohydrate biochemist. He taught a grad-level course for years called Organic Biochemistry -- essentially the chemistry of proteins and carbohydrates, plus a little on lipids.
The common monosaccharides have three letter abbreviations based on their trivial names.
Mannose, for example, is known as Man
Galactose, Gal

My (very) straight-laced advisor would write those down on the chalkboard and then deadpan:
"Of course, if you have Man and Gal, it stands to reason that you also have...
And he'd write: Fuc

Fuc being the abbreviation for the deoxyhexose known as fucose.

Yeah... well... OK.
I guess maybe you had to have been there... :cool: :facepalm:

PS and FWIW: I grew up pronouncing fucose with a long u (fewcose) -- however, others, particularly in the UK and Europe, I think, say foocose (in both cases, the c is a hard c sound). Both, of course, are steadfastly G rated for conversation; the double entendre only works in writing.
 
Strictly speaking the counting system goes 3, 3.1, 3.11, 95, 98.

Or: 3, 3.5, 4, 5(XP), Vista, 7, 8, 8.1, 10,11

These sequences should be on an IQ test.
