When An Organic Chemist Meets An Inorganic Chemist

The chemistry equivalent of bringing a knife to a gunfight. Organic chemist shows up with benzene, a simple carbon ring with hydrogen atoms, thinking they're impressive. Then the inorganic chemist pulls out borazine, the "inorganic benzene" with alternating boron and nitrogen atoms. It's like saying "Nice carbon compounds you got there... would be a shame if someone replaced them with elements from columns 13 and 15 of the periodic table." Classic elemental one-upmanship that happens in every department lounge across academia.
