Add one: TAs and RAs are slaves to tyrannical advisers only concerned ab
out grants, publishing, and tenure.

Jim, 

A list in David Letterman format:  

  

10. There are no approved laboratory safety sandals yet.  

9. Extra goggles may be issued to laboratory students who feel they need

additional eye protection on the tops of their heads.  

8. Young women must wear long pants to prevent distracting male laborato
ry
students. 

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 i
s
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 hoo
ds
are for.  

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