<p>Q: What do you do for a living?</p>

<p>A: I'm a metrologist</p>

<p>Q: So, what's the weather like?</p>

<p>A: Uh?</p>

<p>Q: You said you are a meteorologist, isn't it? So, is it going to rain?</p>

<p>A: Hey, no, wait... I said I'm a metrologist: I measure things, no weather forecast.</p>

<p>Q: Why do you measure things?</p>

<p>A: Because things need to be measured, from time to time.</p>

<p>Q: What kind of things do you measure?</p>

<p>A: Mm, well, mm... maybe it's going to rain, after all.</p>
