The Physics Face

I have never understood the physics face. That is, the facial expression that people make when, after being asked what do I study, I reply "physics". It is pretty much like if I said "I am a Nazi". Their reaction has disbelief, fear and disgust all mixed together.

My friend, another physicist, was at a party, talking to this girl. English PhD, blah blah, whatever, talking talking she was. Then, she asks the question. "Physics", my friend says. She makes the physics face, and then says: "Physics? I'm sorry, I can't talk to you anymore." And left the party.
