    I’m thinking of the episode of That '70s Show where Kelso’s dad is trying to explain to Kelso what he does for a homework assignment.

    Kelso: “OK, let’s get started. Question number one, what’s your job?”

    John: “I’m a senior executive statistical analysis technician.”

    Kelso: “You’re a senior execu… what?”

    John: “Well, in plain English, I concatenate the verse statistical information to maximize the potential utilization of data.”

    Kelso: “So you give people data!”

    ( Kelso is on the verge of writing it down. )

    John: “A lot of people think that. No. My job’s not about output, it’s about throughput.”

    Kelso: “So you throughput data!”

    John: “Well, now you’ve lost me, son. Oh, listen Michael, you know the eight tracks you love so much?”

    Kelso: “You make them!”

    John: “No, but because of us, other people who make them are able to make them better.”

    Kelso: “So, you fix stuff!”

    John: “You could say that…”

    ( Kelso starts writing. )

    John: “But I wouldn’t.”

    ( Kelso erases it with frustration. )

    And then it keeps going on the like for a while.
