A guy sees an ad on television for a thermos. The claim is that it "keeps hot things hot and cold things cold!" He rushes out and buys one. The next day, he fills it up and takes it to work. At lunch, a coworker notices the shiny new thermos.
"Hey," guy 2 says, "is that a new thermos?"
"Yep," guy 1 says, "just got it! It's great! It keeps hot things hot and cold things cold! Today, I have coffee and ice cream."

Honest to god. I asked my mom and dad why they weren't married in Maryland, because western Pennsylvania pronounce it as Marryland, and Maryland isn't that far from Pittsbugh. TBH, I thought everybody got married in Maryland.

An engineering team was asked to design a new and functional aircraft within one week. They balked, obviously. One senior engineer in the back of the rook muttered, "that's easy, just talk to a geometry teacher". The comment was met mostly with dismissive looks and shaking of heads.
As the week progressed, the younger engineers were working longer hours, trying to get the project together. One finally broke, and called their high school geometry teacher, pleading for help.
The teacher said, "ok, it's pretty easy. Here's what you need...
-a lifting body or surface
-a steering surface
-a propulsion method"
The young engineer stared blankly at the phone, thanked the teacher, and headed back into work with the solution.
"How did you figure this out?" everyone asked. The young engineer pointed to the senior at the back of the room. "They had the answer all along, and my geometry teacher confirmed it."

Prostitution theory:

ANY task can become unpleasant once it becomes your job.
That's not a joke though, that is simply fact.
The inverse is also true. Think about the hobbies people plan to do when they retire: fishing, woodworking, traveling, gardening, etc. In any other circumstances, those are jobs, and not necessarily pleasant ones.
