dude at the gym:
"Oh, Chemical Engineering. You must deal with a lot of harmful chemicals. That's why I stuck with biochem."
me:
"How do you like it? I really liked organic."
dude:
"I get to work in labs."
me:
"So you work with a lot of methylating agents?"
dude:
"But those aren't that harmful."
me:
"Well, there's a lot of things that can be methylated in your body. For instance, I don't think your neurons work so well when they have a bunch of methyl groups hanging off of them."
