How many Ivy League professors does it take to twist pop culture into something stupendously nerdy?*
Yesterday, at an event honoring one of Girl-E's colleagues (a statistician), another professor (a curricular scholar) praised the honoree for helping him over the years with her perspective, saying she lended a "Quant Eye for the Qual Guy". The room errupted in laughter. This is the kind of joke you don't want the general public to know you get.
*If Bryan can write an entire post comparing trigonometric identities with sitcom characters, we can do this.

There was a list on McSweeney's several months ago that had a whole string of "-- Eye for the -- Guy." Some of them were pretty funny--my favorite was "Philadelphia Eye for the Pittsburgh Guy."

Husband says "That's funny!" and he meant it.
