A David Letterman Approach to Lab Safety

10. There are no approved laboratory safety sandals yet.

9. Extra goggles may be issued to laboratory personnel who feel they need additional eye protection on the tops of their heads.

8. Young women must wear long pants to prevent distracting male laboratory personnel.

7. Sitting on the lab bench may cause you to get another acid hole.

6. To prevent pressure surges in laboratory tubing, remember: The flow is from the male connector.

5. When assisting someone at the emergency eyewash, don’t worry about
messing up the hair.

4. Hot glassware looks like cold glassware.

3. Sometimes lab coats get hot; get used to it; life’s not fair.

2. Sometimes chemicals stink; that’s the way it is; that’s what fume hoods
are for.

1. HCN smells like almonds- that’s what I heard, trust me on this one.

Theory is when we know everything and nothing is working. Practice is when everything is working and nobody knows why. Here, we combine theory and practice. Nothing is working and nobody knows why.

I used to enjoy David Letterman's show when I still have a TV with me...

Expecting the world to treat you fairly because you are a good person is like expecting the lion not to attack you because you are a vegetarian.

..."best of our knowledge, as far as we know this had never been reported before, though I can't possible read all the published journals on earth, but by perform thorough search in google, the keywords did not match any documents"...
