Indeed, that is why I deployed the joke.

Barry Gehm and I once got into a dispute over my joke, see above, versus his joke, which goes:

She was only a rocket scientist's daugher-- but she gave the boys a specific impulse.

I thought mine was funnier, and traveled better. He disagreed. We conducted an e-mail survey of five rocket scientists. (Because we are such geeks.)

I lost.

But I still think mine is funnier.
