    I learned a rhyme once that’s relevant:

    Danny was a scientist, but now he is no more, for what he thought was H2O, was H2SO4

    Reminds me on this chemist joke:

    A man brought his chemist friend to the bar for a drink with the other friends. When asked what he wanted, the chemist decided that since she’s the designated driver, she’ll order water. “I’ll have some H20, please!” the chemist said, with the man replying “I’ll have some H20 too!”

    The man died of ingesting hydrogen peroxide.

      And the joke’s alternative anti joke punchline:

      The bartender served them both water, because he fully understands everyday human interaction and translated the request as intended.
