"How can you be a famous chemist?" "Er... what?" "It just said "one of Great Britain's most famous chemists". What's that, someone who got top marks for selling thrush cream to people?" "Uh... a famous scientist... working in the field of chemistry?" "...Yes, that would probably be more likely." My sister and me on the phone last night.

(Edit: Yeah, I didn't move into the library. That'll teach me to read more carefully.)
