I'd be potentially very impressed myself, though the "some guys" bit 
doesn't sound like a quote from a peer reviewed journal.

Ahhh....., but actually it very well could be a quote taken from the peer
reviewed journal entitled "Academy of Human Cellular and Stickshift
Automobile Mechanics, Greater Trenton New Jersey Chapter." 

As I understand, it is peer reviewed by only fully certified stand-up guys
who don't do you no wrong as long as you don't mess with their very
expensive lab equipment.  

Molecular biologists from other states give them a wide berth, but 
women find them irresistable and claim with enough love and
understanding they will change.

lab equipment = moonshine still ?

The standup guys actually are, but just barely, and the 'pee'-ers
are mos'ly just  "takin' the p*iss" ?
