Really? I don't know how much you know about primate behavior but Sheldon's assistant was clearly courting Leonard . Were she a mandrill, she would've bent over and displayed her brightly colored hindquarters like a big red welcome mat . By the way, you try that at the junior prom, you get kicked out.

Look at you putting on a brave face. There's nothing to be brave about . Everything's fine. Really? I don't know how much you know about primate behavior but Sheldon's assistant was clearly courting Leonard . Were she a mandrill, she would've bent over and displayed her brightly colored hindquarters like a big red welcome mat . By the way, you try that at the junior prom, you get kicked out. Okay, maybe she was flirting with him, but who cares? Look, I don't even know where my relationship is with Leonard is right now. So says your prefrontal cortex . But meanwhile, the limbic system of your brain is calculating that if another woman is attracted to Leonard, it must be because he's desirable. Well, of course he's desirable . I mean, he's great . He's smart, he's sweet, and, ooh, in the bedroom, whew, let me tell you, he really tries. So it does bother you. Fine, it bothers me a little . No . You know what? This is stupid . It doesn't bother me . Okay, it bothers me . But only because she wouldn't stop laughing . Leonard is not that funny. And there you have it; prefrontal cortex reasoning versus limbic lust . If this were a boxing match, they might call it " The thrilla adjacent to the amygdala . " If you were a brain scientist, you would be busting a gut right now!
