Funny things people said in lab
So we recently this mycoplasma contamination issue...we were discussing things to try like getting new cell stocks, trying antibiotics, decontaminating everything.
Adam: The lab I was working at in Germany had mycoplasma too, and they had to decontaminate the whole place.
Diana: Everything?
Adam: Yup, they just gassed everything.
Brock: Those Germans, that's how they solve problems. They just gas everything.
Last fall when flu season rolled around, Angela and I were talking about going to get our shots at University Health Services when Brock walked into the room:
me: Hey Brock, we're going to get our shots after lunch. Wanna come along?
Brock: What are you going to do after that?
Angela: We will come back here.
Brock: Isn't it going to be weird if we're all drunk in the lab?
me: FLU shots, not SHOTS shots.
Diana: Hey guys, look at this! [explosion]
Adam: I need to shut down total immunoglobulin production.
me: Why?
Adam: To overcome immunity to the vector.
me: So let me get this straight, you're going to cure Acquired ImmunoDeficiency Syndrome but you need to shut down immunity to do it?
Adam: Well...
Joe [who used to work with cows]: Why can't you just stick a needle in a vein and pull out ten mils of blood?
Brock: Would you believe me if I told you my name was short for Brocktholomew?
me: Noooo.
Brock: I told Sarah that and she believed me.
me: That's because she's blonde.
Angela: Shi-Hsia! That's so mean! I thought you were a nice person!
me: [...spluttering...]
Angela: That's the kind of thing *I* would say.
me [holding up a six-week-old cockerel from our chicken study]: Joe! Look at how big this cock is!
