High probability of not being understood!

 

 

 As the story goes......                                                   

I called an old classmate who went on to M.I.T., and asked how he was doing. 

He replied that at that moment, he was working on "aqua-thermal treatment of ceramics, aluminum and steel, under a constrained environment."

I was extremely impressed.

However, upon further inquiry, I learned that he was washing dishes with hot water under his wife's supervision.
