Greg: Hey, could you take a look at the A/C, dude? The fan is runnin’, but the air coming out of the vents isn’t cold.
Tony: No can do, amigo.
Greg: Oh, come on. This isn’t that stupid “I’m an engineer, so fixing broken stuff around the house is beneath me” argument again, is it?
Tony: No, it affects me just as much as it affects you, so it’s not simply hubris that prevents me from helping out. but A/C systems should really be repaired by a trained professional. I have no business poking around in there.
Greg: You built a SPACE STATION.
Tony: And you bet your ass I used contracted labor for the ventilation systems on board. I’ll take on the FBI, CIA or NSA, but you don’t want to mess with the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers.
