Recently there were a couple of articles about the planet Uranus and it's atmosphere, which is sulphur dioxide mainly. As I walked along, I was imagining what type of life form might exist, or even contribute to, such an atmosphere. Perhaps they would be mineral based and consume sulphur, exuding something else. Being more of a science fiction consumer than anyone knowing anything about science, my imagination soared until I ran into a young lady I know casually down the block, meaning actually stumbled into her bike as I daydreamed. We got it sorted out, and she made some comment about me being lost in thought. I immediately turned red and walked away briskly. I simply could not tell her.

And this happened without a phone in your hand? Wow, that is weird.

Wise decision. Telling her you were daydreaming about Uranus could have had disastrous consequences.

It's all in how you phrase it.

"My interest in astronomy had me contemplating the sulfurous gas forming the atmosphere of the planet your-uh-ness."

vs.


"Sorry, I was distracted by the noxious cloud of gas surrounding your anus."

Yes, most people mispronounce the planet's name as "Your Anus" when the proper form is "YOO ruh nuss".

Yeah, telling her “I was wondering what life forms were on Uranus” would not go well.

This didn't really happen, it's a joke. Ha ha, I get it.
