In a lab I was once in, a professor was introducing a new graduate student to an apparatus. Pointing at a diffusion pump (a device that has boiling oil in it), he said, "Don't ever touch that -- it's hot as hell." "You mean *that*?" asked the student, and prodded it with his forefinger. He lost the first joint.

I can relate to a number of these - in particular remove contact lenses BEFORE chopping chillies!

A good trick to pull on team members who always turn up late is to anoint their jockstrap with a small amount of Deep Heat (or similar) - they tend not to notice until they start to warm up unless you overdo it. The results are particularly funny in a rowing boat!

I also was a terror as a child - the worst was the mixture of red phosphorus, magnesium powder and potassium chlorate - I lost a lot of skin to that one and was very thankful that I wore glasses. Another time we made nitrogen tri-iodide and sprinkled a little behind the Chemistry master's desk - he walked in to a 21 gun salute from his feet.

LOL, Roger, Bill D, LTS, Troll!

Well, my brother once brushed his teeth with "Ting" (an athlete's foot preparation) by mistake.

Another lesson learned from my then teen-age brother: Do not stick your finger into the face of an open-mouthed box turtle, pointing and saying, "Oh, look! He's smiling at me!"

And, from sad experience, (yes, Kat) I can advise all of you to wash your hands thoroughly after applying Ben-Gay to sore muscles, especially if you're gonna rub your eyes -- or any other sensitive areas on yourself or your partner.

Seamus, don't fry ANYTHING in the nude -- not even in a bikini!

Never bathe a reluctant cat unless you are wearing goalie gear.

Lessons from my childhood years: -Do not attempt to find out whether an iron is on by running your thumb down the surface of the iron. -Do not slide down a snow-covered terrace in your Sunday clothes if you own a dog. -Never put an unknown cocoon in an open jar on top your refrigerator for the larvae to hatch. (We ended up with a houseful of miniature praying mantises.)

Re fish: If you need to separate a fish from other fish overnight, do not place it in a teacup. Fish jump.

Re cars: Never check your oil while the motor is running.

And, if you are a teen-age boy lighting a buddy's farts, do not stand behind him when you strike the match.

It is always a pleasure to look back on yourself through the eyes of children. This weekend my son and his friend (both 11) were on a jitney going back to our car after a festival and couldn't stand the fact that some (slightly older) girls had shown an interest in them and tried to give them flowers. Their generic comment was "I don't want to play with girls--never." Ah--what a couple of years will do.

Many years ago, I felt a bike I was passenging on was going too fast and the driver would not slow down--so I jumped off with things in my hands. Won't do that again soon! Tried to jump onto a carousel a few years later. The laws of physics paid me off for that one, too.

in the moor & coast tent late night extra in bridgenorth last year, there weren't enough benches or chairs left by the time i arrived back from town in the early hours.

i had my pushchair with guitar,squeezer,& bar,& also my 'handy' folding 3 legged stool.

i found a convenient spot & placed it down. i'd not noticed that the ground was ever so slightly uneven, so when i sat on the stool, well i felt i was turning cartwheels! went arse over tit straight into someone sat singing & playing a blues number- so embarassing! i was somewhat disorientated-didn't kno what had happened![well at that time of night after a lot of sinining & wixy who would]

anyway some very nice & helpful young chaps picked me up off the floor & set me in a chair- with another dwinky right as rain again & more songs & a bacon & egg butty!

I once worked in an office where there was a communal microwave that was used and abused more than a piece of kitchen equipment ever should be.
I once bought some snails (pretentious, moi?) from the nearby deli and thought I'd be a smartarse and warm them up in the microwave. The results were spectacular as the contents of each little shell reached boiling point, tried to expand and then exploded like little mortar bombs.
In desperation I dragged open the door to get them out, but the little buggers continued exploding as I hurled the plate towards the bin, covering me and three other people in the kitchen with gloops of dead snail and garlic butter.
Then there was the time I nicked a jar of white phosphorous (don't ask - but like most kids, I was seriously iinto pyrtechnics) and tried sawing a small stick of the stuff with a hacksaw.
Of course, once out of water and exposed the the air, there was spontaneous ignition - resulting in a pool of molten burning phosphorous on my bedroom table and panic as I rushed out for the CO2 extinguisher my father kept in the kitchen (he always was paranoid - wisely, with me as a son) and blasted the blazing pool before throwing a wet towel over the stinking mess on the table.
It did the trick - but when I turned the light out I found I had my very own planetarium, with tiny fragments of phosphorous glowing greenly on the floor, walls and ceiling, and I spend what seemed like hours with a pair of tweezers and damp cotton buds removing the evidence before my parents returned.
Return they did - to ask why I'd set fire to the kitchen bin, which was giving off some very acrid fumes. The sodding towel had dropped some of the phosphorous onto dry stuff in the bin, which had started the conflagration all over again.
Now I've got kids of my own, I have to bite my tongue sometimes when saying "Don't do this or that", knowing full well what a little sod I used to be.

Don't mix up the contact lens cleaning solution with the wetting solution.
Don't stick your hand in the vacuum cleaner carpet attachment without turning it off - it ate my entire hand.
Don't mix up the hair spray and Lysol.
Always put the basket in the electric coffee maker - or else a spray of scalding water and disapproving glares from the office temp.
Don't try to reheat a cup of coffee by pouring it through the coffee maker - that temp hated me. The filter clogs and it takes twenty pots of clean water to clear it.
Don't drop a lemon candy into a can of diet soda to make it more palateable - it becomes a sticky volcano on your boss' desk.
My most recent embarrassing moment - my office chair is on wheels. I leaned over to pick up a dropped pencil. It shot out from under me and ran into the metal desk behind me with a loud clang. I fell forward into a metal trash can which overturned also with a clang spreading an assortment of debris everywhere. I was laughing too hard to get up and tears were running down my face leading all to believe I was injured. I give them credit - no one laughed until the following day. Then on the way home, I remembered the event and started to laugh out loud again - on the subway train. Amazing how easy it is to get a seat if people think you are crazy.

One of the first lectures I had to give, I spent over 5 minutes at the start trying to get the projector to work as the rather large lecture theatre filled up. After another five minutes of them watching me struggle I was about to admit defeat when one of the students informed me that I had to take the lens cap off...
Not as stupid, however, as the night when I was out and under the influence of a slightly mind-altering substance when, sitting by the side of the dance floor, I was sure I'd wet myself. I refused to move all evening, convinced of this, until I got up to sneak out at the end of the night and realised I'd sat in a pool of spilt beer.

I walked all the way to school when I was 13, with my skirt tucked into my underwear - to my horror, past EVERYONE....

I have fallen on my arse in the Louvre, and fallen down the steps in the Musee Dorsay.

And was once saying how much I found a tutor annoying at uni, and not being very nice about her at all...

And she was stood behind me!

Arghhhhhhhhhh

Then, I was working as a just out of uni Graphic Designer... and visiting a client at a community farm project, who wanted some publicity designed for them.

They had invited me to come and see what they were about, to take me around the adventure walk, to see the wetlands area and bird sactuary, and to meet the people helping to run the farm...

As I was walking through a field after going to see a huge (and I mean enormous) Shire horse. I was chatting away, and though... hot breath on my neck... I am being followed. I looked round and I had a new friend... harry, (the horse) had taken a shine to me... and was right behind me with his muzzle right behind my ear, cuddling into me, and then sticking his head into my bag...

I had an apple in my bag, and he had smelt it out, and wanted that apple... had to surrender the apple, before he would let me carry on any further...

On the subject of uncontrollable laughter in libraries, when I was at University (circa-1980) I found in the periodicals library a magazine called - if I recall correctly the "Journal of Improbabilities", which was an American publication lampooning scientific papers.
Does anyone out there know if it still exists, and if so where I might find a copy?

I ran to the truck with angry bees chasing me, jumped in, rolled up the window, and breathed a sigh of relief.

I did a v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v.v. silly thing when I was walking to the bus station earlier on today (i.e. about an hour ago). We were walking through the park on the way and for some weird reason I decided I would walk into a one of those little concrete pillars (I forget what they're called). Anyway, my boyfriend, being the kind, loving soul that he is, decided he would prevent me doing this and tried to push me out of the way. However, I didn't move my feet so he tried pulling instead (he knows how my CRAZY mind works!). Just as he was pulling, I moved and he nearly fell over backwards, taking me with him. Luckily, he has quite good balance so we didn't end up sprawling. All the damage was superficial, i.e. he bashed his nose on my head and his shoulder attacked my chin.

I still got the bus though!!

One song I sing is "Drag queen blues" by Richard Digance - which starts with the line "My friend George is a drag queen called Nancy". Earlier this year I was in the Endeavour in Whitby (North Yorkshire, England} with a singing crowd. When it was my turn I launched, full voiced, into said song. As I was half way through the second verse I suddenly recalled that around 10 minutes earlier a group of people had just sat down in the alcove immediately behind me. My brain suddenly registered that one of the group was a six-foot transvestite dressed all in black. "WHOOPS!", I thought, followed bo "Oh Sod it!" as I went on to complete the song, followed by a VERY big round of applause from the rest of my crowd, who had also noticed my gaffe, and had been waiting to see if I realised what was behind me.
Luckily the restrained themselves from the Pantomoime Chorus of "He's Behind You!!!"

Sterile lubricant (read: K-Y) and styling gel are amazingly close in composition.

a little of topic, I worked for several years in a University dept that was part of a Pharmacy dept, so we had access to the pharmaceutical prep equipment for pills powders and creams. For a wedding present for couple of colleagues, the research group gave the bride and groom a special 7 pound (3.5kg) jar of KY jelly. Which caused much hilarity when it was unwrapped at the reception...
It wasnt until the bride and groom returned to work that we discovered that a colleague had used the departments prep equipment and blended in a liberal dose of local anaesthetic.....
They did not discover this until it was distributed around the vital parts of BOTH partys; it took 12 hours for the effect to wear off...
