Random Analogies
"There's no crime in feeling bad feelings. I know we all "shouldn't" feel bad about emotional stuff, but dude. Bad feelings are like farts: we all agree that they are gross if you bring 'em out in public, but they're just something you've gotta deal with before you explode. You wouldn't feel like a failure if you needed to fart in a meeting, you'd just be uncomfortable for a while and deal with it at a more appropriate time."
"This is where we really need the help of alpha amylase. Unlike beta amylase, alpha amylase is an endo-enzyme and randomly breaks alpha 1-4 bonds from the inside of the molecule. Using the tree analogy, alpha-amylase is like a tree removal guy using a chain saw to cut a big tree into several medium-sized pieces. With every cut, a new trunk is created and beta-amylase can latch onto the trunk (a reducing end) and do its thing until it runs into another alpha 1-6 branch"
