Scenes from my day #3

(Scene:  Talking with Another Female Co-worker near our cubicles.)

ANOTHER FEMALE CO-WORKER: I was looking through the birth announcements in the paper and found a couple that had named their baby girl Krypton. Krypton! Why name her after Superman's home planet?

ME: Maybe she was named after the element. Maybe it was a toss-up between that or Gadolinium. I think she got off easy.

(ANOTHER FEMALE CO-WORKER stares at me for five full seconds, shakes her head, and walks away.)

You think I got it bad? My brother Lithium can't go near the psych ward without getting accosted.
