Marty: Wait. (holds up coffee cup)
I need to add a few thermal units to this.
Me: You know, we humans usually just say we're going to nuke it for a few.
Marty: (disgusted look) Microwaves don't use nuclear fission to produce thermal energy, everyone knows that.
Me: Well you know, it's just a saying.
Marty: A totally inaccurate one.
Me: Yeah, I'll see what I can do about changing that for you.
Marty: You do that.

ReplyDeletewhy do we call it nuke it??
ReplyDeletealthough adding a few thermal units doesn't seem quite accurate either... since that isn't something you can physically add.. I would think increase would be more accurate.. but I'm guessing Marty would know more about that then I.
ummm....yeah.....how about "I'm gonna warm this up?" haha
ReplyDeleteHuman's say "nuke it for a few"???? That's a new one on me!! MOL
