#1. [Heard in organic chem lab at the College of Charleston]:
New student: I think I'll need some concentrated acetone to get out
all the water in the beaker.
Lab TA: Yeah, and when you find that, see you if you can find the
bottle of dilute water.
#2. [Also heard in chem lab]:
Student A: Knock knock.
Student B: Who's there?
Student A: Aldehyde.
Student B: Aldehyde who?
(Few moments of silence.....)
Student C: Hmmn, he's gone. Must have been a leaving group.
#3. [On my first day at the Department of Immunology, at the Medical
University of South Carolina]
Co-worker: Never mess around with people in the lab. 'Cause the next
time you turn around, someone might take a leak in your
cultures.
