Chris,

I am nothing but delighted to see you possess this great and wonderful sense of humor. It is a quality which sees everyone through many lifetime disturbances and if we have nothing else, then we can laugh.

And by the way, those of you who make oral presentations at scientific events should know that women take in a much broader view than the material you think you are sharing. I know, they've told me, especially the younger one's. Pure and applied science may be attractive to men, but surely not always to women.
