From a scientist's biography on his web site:

I guess that it could be worse.
What if his presentations drew flies?

Maybe he's an ornithologist? Or specializes in AI - after all, how many presentations can draw @ all?

(& if the presentations draw flies, then maybe he's an entomologist? Or a dipterist? - Which might be too inside the Beltway, if you know what I mean. & if you do, then there's no flies on you!)

What's the buzz, tell me what's ...

If that person fails to consult a cookbook, he/she just might rue the day when he/she tried to make that sauce without a recipe.

Just imagine if that person was looking for pubic horse corals? (Whatever those might be...)
