Tickle Me

Just a few things I found humorous this past week, I guess you will get some insight into the type of humor I have : -) I enjoyed writing it out, made me chuckle, sorry if it doesn't do the same for you.

I was in the grocery store buying food, of course. Often I look at all the sale prices and see how much they are saying you will save by buying a product that is now on sale. They always advertise the amount you will be saving just to help you feel good when you buy the things you really don't need. There was one that I thought was worthy of writing about. I actually forget what the product was but this is what the tag said..." On sale for $4.53, was originally $4.58, your savings, $0.05!". I know isn't it great! I would save a whole $0.05 if I bought that product! Oh my goodness, quick get another cart (trolley here) and fill it to the brim with this great discounted item. The company must really be sacrificing for the customer to put such a steep sale price on it!

I used to work in a structural virology lab. We were working with bacteria, viral proteins, and other exciting organisms. I still get e-mails from the Structure Group reminding me of all the fun I miss. Here is one that I got this week...

Subject line: [structure-group] Liquid nitrogen left on again

Message:
Folks,
I found EM suite large nitrogen tank leaking nitrogen again today. If you got nitrogen after lunch, please be aware that you are not closing the valve all the way. Please, please crank it down very tight. I know its awkward; use the leather gloves to get a better grip.

Thanks! Valorie


It is such a bummer when the liquid nitrogen is left on, you come back from lunch and the whole place looks like it is getting ready for a rock concert : -), you expect to see guys with 80's hair cuts and skin tight pants to come strutting out of the men's bathroom. "Sigh", so much fog you can't see your feet in front of you! The troubles we deal with!
Actually the liquid nitrogen can be fun to play with, but remember kids you must always have an adult with you! Liquid Nitrogen can burn you!
