At a physicist party last night I overheard one of the profs talking to his two-year-old while cutting up the food on his plate:
"No, love, you don't want to eat your sweetcorn yet. Corn has a high specific heat capacity and high thermal conductivity."
Fortunately the kid seems already to have developed excellent translation skills.
"Weetdorn HOT!"

Too funny!
HIlarious!
No! You made that up!
Not even a little bit.
When you hang out with physicists, you don't have to make up the funny. It's all around you. All the time.
Talk to me! (You know you want to!)
