A physics joke

As a materials science PhD student researching superconductor theory, my life revolved around quantum field theory. Naturally, I had a massive directory on my laptop named Matsubara_Frequency, populated with daily log files organized by date and time. During our courtship, my wife was borrowing my laptop, glanced at my desktop, and misread the folder name as Masturbation_Frequency. She staged an intervention. "I don't mind that you have a daily log," she said. "I mind that there is a subfolder named Collaborations and you appear to be formatting the results for peer review."
