THE VALUE OF A GOOD VOCABULARY

I called an old MIT classmate and asked what he was doing.

He replied that he was working on "Aqua-thermal treatment of ceramics, aluminum and steel under a constrained environment."

I was impressed.

However, upon further inquiry, I learned that he was washing dishes with hot water under his wife's supervision.

Interesting. His wife supervises his dish washing. Does she also tie his shoelaces in the morning?

Remember the episode of the Flintstones when Fred lost his job at the quarry and became a "resident stationary engineer" at his buddie's hotel?
