Feeling a bit grim again today, so I needed a chuckle.
Silly thing.
Went to get bottles of Ethanol out of freezer for DNA practical & they were in a tub marked "SPINACH" - of course!
You know when a silly thing catches you at just the right moment & sends you into giggles?
I had similar when I went to fridge & got out a bottle of starch....that on the other side was marked Amylase! ( Not my writing I hasten to add although it's not beyond me to do this on a mad day.) Hehehe
Tales of chuckles please.

There is a staple sticking out of the windowsill in the staff toilet near my room... I've been wondreing how it got there....
Today a teacher (SLT) admited that he had split his tousers and tried to staple them back together...
He was reasonably happy untill he realised he had managed to staple them to the windowsill.
:oops2:

Some of the pupils did a reading comprehension about the circulatory system. One of the questions at the end asked them to give the meanings of various words from the piece. One of the sentences in the piece was "the heart's contractions are triggered by electrical impulses..." They had to give the meaning of the word "triggered". One child had put "annoyed about something"!! It made me chuckle as that's a word my teens use, "Don't get triggered mum" they say when I'm annoyed. Funny, how words take on a different meaning. :laughing:

Historically we've had requisitions for a "poser kit" (poster kit) - teacher was provided with a silky black shirt, medallion and sunglasses - "thermit erection" - same teacher, who panicked and came down to clarify what he actually wanted :laughing:

I was just clearing a lung dissection this morning as the kids were leaving the room. Not sure where the preserved specimens came into the lesson but the teacher had got a few out. As a group of girls left one said in a really cheerful voice "Bye Miss. Thanks for showing us a dead mouse"
It just tickled me :laughing:

Examining equipment designed for lunar subsurface investigations - a high velocity penetrator.

Once the physics teachers had stopped giggling, I explained this very important piece of equipment was designed and created by MSSL along with the UK Penetrator Consortium...

...schoolboys the lot of them...

Ok, this is not tech related, but.

I was planting out some seedlings into the garden with my nephew, who was about 6 at the time.
I dug the holes, he put the plants in.
I noticed he was very particular about the plant labels, and I said to him, don't worry too much about them.
His reply was - 'but how will they know who they are if I don't put their labels next to them?'
Bless him.

Doesn't have to be tech related!

There's a track on my forthcoming album featuring my producer's 5 year old granddaughter (I actually wrote it for her last year). I sat next to her holding the mic and sang a line, and she sang it back to me, and we've mixed her voice into the song. I know I'm biased but it's the most adorable thing I've ever heard :love:

A guy I know who was once in the navy told me a story of the bridge receiving a call from someone who said they were Admiral whatever, and continued to rant about something on the ship.
The guy thought his shipmates having a prank, and led this 'Admiral' on a merry dance, who in turn got even angrier. Thinking this hilarious, he turned to the crew present and said something along the lines of, 'Haha, you thought you had me there, - to which they all looked blank.
At this point, the Admiral, nearly having a apoplectic fit said, 'Just who am I speaking to?' to which the guy replied, 'You don't know?'... and put down the phone.

My daughter used to do loads of stupid things in her teens...
One day I came home to beans splattered on the kitchen ceiling. Apparently, she put the pan on the hob to heat, tried to open the beans (with a garlic press) - and figured she had the wrong piece of kitchen equipment after about 5 minutes. Cold beans, hot pan, resultant explosion.
