The Hamburger Postulate

Another day for Sheldon, Leonard, Howard and Raj and there's another battle to fight - the war of the condiments! Could the ketchup and tobasco powers of Superman and the Hulk defeat the Hindu deity Ganesh? Penny, waiting on at the restaurant they're contemplating this conflict in, is not particularly interested in finding out. Thankfully for Penny, the topic of conversation switches to Leslie Winkle, Leonard's fellow researcher (and a woman he's already tried his luck with) from the university. Leonard takes up her invite to join the Physicist Department String Quartet as a cellist.

During the String Quartet's rehearsal Leonard's startled to hear the following words: "I admire your fingering... maybe one day you could play that on my instrument". Good grief. Things get even saucier when Leslie hangs back after practice, as a pretext for letting Leonard know she's "sexually available". After a good fiddle on their fiddles, they're "good to go". Blimey.

The morning after arrives and Sheldon's a tad confused and a mighty bit angry. Someone's been messing with his precious whiteboard, but, as Leonard points out, that someone had also solved the problem Sheldon had been having with a particular equation. Sheldon is dumbfounded to discover it was Leslie who fixed it. Leonard is also dumbfounded by Leslie, as she brushes him off with the cold shoulder: "I don't know about your sex drive, but I'm probably good 'til New Year."

It’s not all bad for Leonard though, as Howard declares "the blogsphere's buzzing with you and Leslie Winkle making eine kleine bang-bang music". Plus, Penny seems quietly pleased that Leonard's no longer seeing Leslie. Game on.
