Exceptionally clever.

(Would have emailed but your signature doesn't say how to demunge
your address yes, I thought so! I certainly didn't create it:
it was from a list of something like 100 best jokes, or 20 best
puns, or something, in the Independent (a British newspaper) some
years ago.
Probably lost on non-UK readers though (-:

Not if they were involved in healthcare. ;-)
I was not a healthcare provider, but had many clients who were.

It wasn't the ATP aspect I thought might not be obvious outside the
UK, it was the 80p aspect.

Though I should amend it to "some" adenosine; I suspect it's a
_long_ time since 80p would get you a pint of _anything_ from a
barman.
I took the comment as a pun.

It's actually a very clever joke - the 80 p. pun only scratched the
surface.

I realise humour is usually spoilt by explanation, but please explain
anyway: I couldn't see beyond the 80p.


I was going to wait another 24 hours or so...

To a biochemist it goes further if one looks into the role that ATP
plays in living cells:

It is often referred to as the "molecular unit of currency" of
intracellular energy transfer.

That is the clever bit that turns the pun into a fine joke ... ATP as
currency. 80 p. worth in this case.

ref: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adenosine_triphosphate

When you posted that sig, knowing that engineers and scientists always
have their inside humour I thought it best to know more about ATP.

Wikipedia is always a good source for such.


Thanks. I knew - from my O level biology about 40 years ago! - that ATP
is basically what makes muscles work, turning it into ADP. (I may have
remembered some of this wrong.) I didn't know the "currency" nickname
for it though: that's maybe been added since then.

No, I haven't changed my mind - I'm perfectly happy with the one I have, thank
you.
