  Here’s a version without the bad crop, comedy homicide, pointless circle around the punchline, and puritanical censoring

  In his essay “To Tell a Chemist” (1965), Asimov proposed a simple shibboleth for distinguishing chemists from non-chemists: ask the person to read the word “unionized”. Chemists, he noted, will read un-ionized (electrically neutral), while non-chemists will read union-ized (belonging to a trade union).

    Or some will say it’s spelled incorrectly

  If you don’t think about it very hard, solidarity is basically macro ionization

  Ah, because of the ions.

  Took me eons.

  Good luck finding the chemistry teacher, though.

    As a leftist chemistry teacher, I read it as “having attained union”, rather than “not ionized”, so YMMV with this heuristic

  My initial thought was “would chemists theoretically be less into labor protections than plumbers”?

  I guess that puts me in a third bucket.

    Am a chemist in your group. I read it the plumber way too. Took me five seconds to get it.

  What about ChemE then? They’re both.

  Perfectly balances, as all things should be.
