Well I'll be avoiding seaweed on the beach from here on out

seaweed that's washed up is pretty gross unless you're a microbiologist. maybe a marine biologist, too, anyhow. It usually starts getting rank pretty quickly.

I met a microbiologist and a marine biologist once.

Imagine my surprise when the former was tall and the latter was a civilian with normal skin!

Or a child. I see kids playing with washed up seaweed all the time.

Or a child at heart (which, I admit, can overlap with being a marine biologist)
