A former professor at my wife's institution who now works for the NSF dropped by her office after a talk. [View all]
They chatted pleasantly, and he asked if we had kids and what they did.
She told him about that, mentioning that my son is getting his Ph.D. in nuclear engineering.
He asked, "What country is he going to when he graduates?"
She answered without a beat saying, "Probably France, he speaks French, and he's teaching his girlfriend French."
Everybody knows that the scientific infrastructure that made America great is being willfully destroyed by an orange ignoramus.
