Married To Sheldon Cooper

(My wife and I are discussing several people we know who have left their spouses in the last few weeks. My wife is also a biologist.)

Wife: “Does it worry you that all these people are splitting up?”

Wife: “Huh?”

Wife: “Well, I find that highly unlikely! They have the most rudimentary brains! They can’t recognize individuals! They don’t know who they’re mating with!”
