Stupid Co-Worker: I just don't understand how shampoo with conditioner can work. How does the conditioner work in the shampoo?
Oily Homer: That's a good question. How does regular conditioner work without the shampoo?
SCW: You know, it conditions your hair.
OH: Yes, how does it do that?
SCW: It makes your hair shiny and manageable.
OH: That's what it does. How does it do that?
SCW: It conditions your hair. With conditioner.
OH: I don't think you're following me. What is it about conditioner that conditions your hair, and how does that happen?
SCW: The ingredients in the conditioner make your hair shiny. I don't know what they are, but they make your hair conditioned.
OH: So you don't have a clue how conditioner works, but it bothers you that it works in shampoo. Is that right?
SCW: You know what I mean, don't you use conditioner?
OH: Actually, I use the shampoo with conditioner in it.
SCW: I don't see how that can work.
