Why would you spray the lion(rather the yourself) with sauce?
Considering I just misread that as 'spay mountain lions', rather than spray... HOW would you spay the lion (or yourself) with sauce? |

"Danny, that's good," his mother said, sounding strange and strained and cautious. "What's--"

(Well, if you will ask an engineer ) I'm not sure that's the best tool for delicate internal surgery. And isn't sauce a little viscous for the high-pressure jets? |

I love the stealth story. And does Lexy need help with the extinguishers?
Oh, man. Me too!
I have just spent a rewarding hour enjoying that link. I give you this delightful paragraph:
"These Bavarian rowdies have prepared a series of salts of the unnerving azidotetrazolate anion. As they point out, the anion was described back in 1939 (in what I hope was a coincidental association with the outbreak of the Second World War), but its salts are "rarely described in the literature". Yes indeed! People rarely spray hungry mountain lions with Worcestershire sauce, either, come to think of it."
Why would you spray the lion(rather the yourself) with sauce? Back to the original question: spraying a lion with sauce both annoys it and makes it think food thoughts. Not clever. |

You will have to ask the author of the quoted material. I personally think the question is sort of missing the point of the humor the author seemed to be intending, but that's just me. It's a truly lovely linked blog, fully of chemistry high glee and tales of explosion and so forth; I highly recommend it, and will probably go read more of it later today because it cheers me up in inexplicable ways. |

Oh, I got the joke. I was just(lamely) trying to create second order joke. And since I'm not Jim it fell on its face.

Oh! Eeep. I am a literal-minded beast sometimes, and missed it. I am sorry! |
