On Atoms Sharing Electrons

Saying that each of two atoms can attain closed electron shells by sharing a pair of electrons is equivalent to saying that husband and wife, by having a total of two dollars in a joint account and each having six dollars in individual bank accounts, have eight dollars apiece!

Notes:

The idea that by sharing electrons they close their shells seems absurd.

Our Non-Intuitive, Shadowy Understanding of Nature

Memes mostly about the quantum world, where we use metaphors to describe things we can't really conceptualize in the macroworld.
