In conversation at work today two people were complaining that their desks were so close together that it probably violated Health & Safety laws. I, being both funny and well versed in physics, joked that it probably also violated Heisenberg's Uncertainty Principle. I thought this was very funny as I'd implied they were very close together. The two people however, just looked confused. And then they stopped talking and I went away.
It's only now looking back that I have realised my error. I should actually have referred to the Pauli Exclusion Principle! No wonder they were confused and didn't appreciate how funny I was! I shall have to explain my error to them tomorrow. How we'll laugh!
