A physics professor and his assistant were working on liberating negatively-charged hydroxl ions, when all of a sudden the assistant says, "Wait, professor, what if the salicylic acids don't accept the hydroxl ion?" And the professor responds...

Hey! That is funny! You're all right, Dexter!
Can somebody explain dexters joke in simple terms?
It was not meant for simple terms, be big brain or begone
"A physics teacher and his helper were working on decomposing a chemical called hydroxide in order to change its molecular structure. This is done by using a specific type of acid with the ability to draw certain parts of the molecules that make up hydroxide away from the hydroxide and incorporate them into the acid. However, if performed incorrectly the separated parts of the hydroxide molecules may fail to bond with the acidic molecules, and that's about as far as I can go because my understanding of chemistry is very basic.
The joke is that the physics professor and the assistant are actually taking aspirin (presumably for a headache). Aspirin is a salicyclic acid that has a hydroxyl ion added to it (which is liberated when you ingest it).
Once you've taken aspirin, its breakdown occurs when plasma esterases hydrolyze (giving it an hydroxyl ion) the salicylic acid, thus stopping its effects and giving you your headache back.
When the professor says "that's no hydroxyl ion, that's my wife!" He's saying that its not the breakdown of the aspirin that's making his headache return, it's his wife!
TL;DR: His wife is giving him a headache.
I have no idea if this is true or not but I choose to believe you
So it's like the sodium chloride bit but better?
>but better?
>better
Honestly, it's even more unfunny.
genius if true
The professor's name is Chuck, and the assistant's name is Sneed. Outside of his teaching job, the professor runs a side business. If the salicylic acids don't accept the hydroxl ion, then the professor will hand over his business to his assistant. The assistant wants to turn the business into a farming supplies store. At that point, the business will be called Sneed's Feed and Seed (Formerly Chuck's). The joke here is that it used to be called Chuck's Frick and Suck.
How about you accept some b***hes?
How does an 8 year old come up with a random joke like that?
