    Other Notes:
     

    There was the punchline for an old joke in there, the original version is needlessly gendered, so I'll switch it and give the setup, 

    An engineer (Practitioner) and a Mathematician (Theorist) were drinking at a bar. They both order a pint, and the Mathematician shares, "If I drink half of this beer now, half of the remainder in after a minute, half again in two minutes, and so on I will be able to drink for the rest of time". The Engineer replies, "Yes but in five minutes you will be drunk enough to order another (Close enough to finished for all practical purposes)".

    I drank a cup of tea before recording the introduction and close. Black Tea can make your mouth a little dry and it is not a good idea to drink it before recording voice.  I put the milk in after the hot water, I can not dismiss the suggestion that it is better that way(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lady_tasting_tea).  If you listen to this with good quality headphones, I am sorry about the mouth noise.  The tea was good.
