In the middle of a proof about NP-completeness,

Prof Micali:  So now I am from... What is the expression?

Student:  Out of the frying pan, into the fire?

Prof Micali:  Yes, that's it.


At the end of the proof,

Prof Micali:  Oh, I still have to prove this is a polynomial time reduction.
              Is this a polynomial time reduction?
              Yes.
