(To his cousin (the MMA fighter, who once fought as "Iceman"), after besting him on the boardwalk at the strongman...thing, whatever they call those where you whack a platform with a mallet and try to ding the bell at the top:) "You're demoted from Iceman to Slushy Guy."

He afterward turned to the crowd that had gathered behind us, pointed to his cousin -- "Mixed Martial Arts fighter" -- and to himself -- "Physics professor.  Science works."
