Somewhere a rocket scientist brain surgeon physicist with a knack for economics who wears Velcro shoes is having a stress breakdown.

When I was a professional ballroom dance instructor, one of my coworkers was having a tough time teaching a step to her student. As he gets more frustrated she tells him “it’s ok- you’ll get it- this isn’t rocket science.”

There is an awkward pause as her student stares back at her.
“No” he agrees, “this isn’t rocket science. That I can do. This is some sadistic step designed specifically to torture rocket scientists.”

And that’s how we found out he worked for NASA.

please let that sequence of words go down in history

theparadoxymoron:

If

worked for NASA, I would ask if this were him

I feel like there’s a sufficiently large number of people who would say that sequence of words that even were I a dancing rocket scientist it would probably not be me.

#fourteen-year-old me is not exactly *great* at rocket science or quantum physics #but she is noticeably better at them than she is at shoe-tying #(I gave up trying to learn shoe-tying at around age eleven) #(when I was fifteen my little brother tried to teach me and it clicked) #(high on my own success I bought a pair of laced shoes) #(and *hated* them) #(turns out being *able* to use laced shoes isn’t enough to make them not suck) #(so I went back to Velcro and never looked back)
