"You have this fancy quantum-polynomial-time algorithm, what are you going to do with it? ... Many people have gotten tenures out of it, so I guess it helps." -Pf. Mulmuley, 2014-05-15

Found the following jotted on the back of an order pad while cleaning the pantry. Dates from my time at FEED.

Claire has complained of this before, but tonight I had it happen to me for the first time. So can someone explain to me why a woman would say to me, "Really? Do I look like a 'Ma'am'?"

After this, I switched to using exclusively either 'Madam' or 'Miss'. So much for folksey charm.
