We had a conference with a bunch of the managers and nerds, and while we were waiting to start one of the bosses was talking about when he did his PhD on some gay nerd shit about the nucleus of the helium atom.
I just said,
"How Noble of you."
It was met with forced laughs and groans and even applause and I did a walk over to him for a high five.
It was terrible and I'm not proud of it but it was a literal "and everyone clapped" moment.

After the meeting I was like "hey, I'm sorry for being silly about your actual PhD work, that was just such a gag in the moment."
He was super cool and had loved it. A good thing too because he's the type of dweeb that got pushed into lockers. Anyway he asked how much I knew about quantum stuff (luckily I worked for another guy with a PhD in quantum chromodynamics and I watch Injuns on YouTube) so I said "yeah I can pull out the standard model once in a while."
So we talked about exitation states of the helium nucleus and made all the lesser nerds walk away.

Alright, honest criticism as a friend, I like the premise and the characters are interesting and funny but the PhD guy needs to take his peepee out faster otherwise the readers are going to lose interest.
Maybe the main guy could go "yeah maybe I can pull out your standard model once in a while." and then they go on yada yada gay s*x.
But good job on the subtle homoeroticism, it's really gripping.

Don't worry they were just civil engineers and accountants
