Life

J: "I just discovered that solving non-linear modulus equations is NP-complete"
P: "At any other hour, I might be interested"
K: "Why is this surprising? Everything in life always turns out to be NP-complete. Like grocery shopping."
J: "Yeah, path finding!"
P: "I was thinking knapsack problem."
T: "This is why grocery shopping with you guys always takes forever."
