It's a joke/pun thingie.
PB = Peanut Butter
Pb (note the lower-case "b") = Chemical Symbol for Lead (from Latin Plumbum)

Ah ha. My Chemistry puns are somewhat oxidized. Please forgive me. (I do remember HIOAg, though.)

I try to reduce the number of science puns I make. People usually don't get'm.
On another note, there's a whole lotta disclaimerism going on moving into a lead-based paint home. Though I guess I can't be surprised people don't
read everything they are given or told to sign.

Me too. My chemistry teacher once told a joke about a railroad employee who was sentenced to the electric chair but wouldn't die. It turned
out that he was a bad conductor.
