conceived of the idea of coauthoring a paper for the express purpose of enabling this joke. They followed through on it five years later

The sheer determination and commitment for telling a dick joke. And here I am not being able to tell you if I’ll be employed a year later.

I also love the way Cox put it:

That is such a lovely nerd way to put "We found the combo of our last names hilarious"
