In summary, Officer proton is chasing a faster than light neutrino that had already passed through him yesterday. The conversation suggests that the topic may have been related to a previous scandal involving faster than light neutrinos. The conversation also mentions the use of a tachyon, which the speaker believes would have made the conversation funnier. Additionally, there is a mention of the conversation being copied and pasted from another source, possibly Yahoo Answers. The conversation ends with a humorous remark about the correct use of English.

Would've been funnier when the whole "faster than light neutrino" scandal went down, but now you'd better replace neutrino with tachyon.

Yeah I figured, this has been copied and pasted. I first asked it on yahoo answers and I was pretty sure that no one on that sight would know what a tachyon was.

It would also be funnier if it was in correct English.
