Do I detect a Dexter's Lab reference
or am I just being dumb |

@Jack If so, you and me are both being dumb. |

It indeed is a Dexter's Lab joke.
Can't stop hearing this in his voice now. |

I'm not a chemist but this joke looks like try to come up with "what smart people find funny". If you want really nerdy joke, here it is:
Different mathematical functions are sitting in a trench, and suddenly another one comes running shouting: Run! Enemy army is coming and it is integrating everybody. All functions, but one run away. Enemy army comes and ask the one that stay. -Why didn't you run? Didn't you know that we are integrating everybody? -I don't care, I'm e^x -He, He, He... but we are integrating over y! |

I actually got the Dexter's Lab joke from the cartoon short, but it's not told as well here, sadly. |

Laughed only because of the Dexter reference :D |

I think I understand the joke but I'll need to explain what a Hydroxyl is first. I'll just make it simple.
Negatively charged Hydroxyl can be found in water due to the Oxygen atom in the molecule taking away the electrons from one of the hydrogen atoms. Without that electron, the hydrogen atom becomes a positively charged ion and separates from the water molecule's more negatively charged Oxygen atom. H=O=H --------> H=O- H+ This turns H2O into HO- and H+ So there is two ways this can be funny. One is that, in the original joke, Hydroxyl (HO-) is suppose to be the scientist's wife. As shown above, the separation of HO- and H+ from H2O is basically like a divorce between two spouses. Usually the wife gets half of her husband's worth and home. So the whole joke might be about the scientist divorcing his wife. The other take on this might be from the actual symbol for Hydroxyl, HO-. In which case, that scientist pony is calling his royal leader a ho. Not all that smart for a scientist, eh? |

^ Nope, the real joke is that Twi thinks Pinkie would get it, talk about missing the point. |
