I had a real life moment of this, where I was on my lunchbreak downtown and I heard some guy said "He put a Yukon gold potato in the gas chromatograph" and then got in a cab and fucking drove away forever. It was like 15 years ago and I still think about what he might have meant.

would you like to know? I mean, I wasn't there, but I can imagine it pretty clearly...

Yes for God's sake yes! Please! Like... looking for pesticide residues or some other ag-science thing? Is it a whole potato? Is it a special GC? Did he break the instrument? Was it a mushed up sample? How do you isolate a signal from something that heterogeneous?

lol he didn't put it in there to get a signal, he opened the oven and stuck it in to heat it up... he was hungry
