Dad: What's the name of the place where you have to sample?

Internallylaughing: Why?

Dad: So I can call and tell them to sample their own stormwater.

Internallylaughing: But they're paying us to do the sampling for them.

Dad: Oh.

[internallylaughing]

Dad: Why would you have to sample tonight?

Internallylaughing: Because if it rains and there's stormwater runoff, I have to take samples.

Dad: Aren't there shifts for that?

Internallylaughing: No, because we only need to do it when it rains.

Dad: You only do it when it rains?

Internallylaughing: It's like being on call.

Dad: Ohhhhh.
