Chem humor

[ink_in_hand]

Now, I cannot claim any sort of mastery in chemistry, but I can only imagine these two hitting it off  with their respective fields and discussing various chemicals, formulas, compounds, and their reactions. Because I am not a chemist or even a student, I was lazy and simply pulled the butanoic acid structure image straight from the net after looking for an appropriate compound that two robotic aliens would be interested in talking about. 

The punchline is sulfuric acid, it's one that works... quite well on metals.

My OCs just LOVE to put in their two cents...

Is it sad that I know the punchline by heart, yet cannot for the love of me remember the formulas leading up to the punchline?

Arson: Considering that you have not seen anything close to chemistry since you graduated high school, I am not surprised, but I do not think any less of you. However, being that I am supposed to have a background in basic to advanced chemistry, as you have mentioned before, this may become a problem later on. *waves cheerfully* Hello, CG.

Sulfuric acid is common enough, but I'm worried that i recognized butyric acid, especially since i was a cultural anthropology major >.>
