You May Be Living with a Rocket Scientist IF ...

It has already been established that Husband can call himself a rocket scientist by virtue of his pending patent for a bismuth thruster (don't ask). But I suspect one needn't be a card-carrying member of the American Institute for Astronauts and Aeronautics in order to be included in the rocket scientist state of mind.


In case you are not sure whether you are crazy or just living with a rocket scientist, I've compiled some clues.

Ready for lift-off?  3 ... 2 ... 1 ....


YOU MAY BE LIVING WITH A ROCKET SCIENTIST IF:

He takes the day off and then spends it lashed to his work computer.

Your house has 1 outdoor thermometer, 2 indoor/outdoor digital thermometers (one with a humidity gauge), 2 mobile ambient temperature gauges, 2 wind gauges, and 3 weather apps on each computer.

Your overnight guests need training in order to turn your light switches on and off.

ALL of your Tv's are wired to auxiliary speakers.

Not surprisingly, reports indicate guests are afraid to touch anything in your house for fear of ruining a science experiment.

You say things like: 'Honey, do you want more iced tea? ... ... ... This offer expires in 10 seconds ... 9 ... 8 ... 7 ....'

Reading material in the bathroom consists of 'Sky and Telescope' and 'Technology Review.'

His screensaver crunches telemetry for SETI (Search for Extra-Terrestrial Intelligence). This can be tricky if your kids are dating: 'Daddy, did you know my new boyfriend's parents search for space aliens on their computer?' ... Yessssir, take a number to marry into this family! ... and make that a PRIME number ....

The amount of spare cable, wiring and electrical cording in your basement, if wound together, would make a ball with a six-foot diameter.

You happen to know the above fact ....

And of course, if your pillow talk includes key words such as space probe, Sally Ride, thrust, docking -- and if afterwards you ask how was it and the answer is 'nominal,' then ...
... YOU MAY BE LIVING WITH A ROCKET SCIENTIST.

(Look, it turns out he was actually saying 'PHE-nominal.' Whew!)





This list gets updated as life goes on. Love to hear others' contributions ....
