    If you’re not part of the solution, you’re part of the precipitate.

      Barium is a chemical element.

      Say it aloud and it sounds like, “Bury 'em”.

      ETA: I’m not sure who that is in the picture. A little help, please?

        That was my guess, that it’s pronounced similarly to something else, but I didn’t know how to pronounce Barium in English. Wikipedia says it’s bɛəriəm/BAIR-ee-əm I wouldn’t pronounce “bury em” that way, but I know my pronunciation is not good. I speak like the Hungarians in the Monty Python sketch “Dirty Hungarian Phrasebook”. These kind of jokes don’t work on me.

    One atom says to the other “I think I’ve lost an electron!”

    “Are you sure?”

    “I’m positive”
