I'm eating tryptophan-laden foul. I'll get to it...

Nothing remotely funny I can think of, just frustrating. Even when a male quail lays an egg, or an ovariectomized female quail lays an egg, or a quail lays a radiotransmitter inside an egg shell...

I was putting some fancy mouse in a chamber (ya know one of those that shocks it, feeds it, etc.), I turned my head and when I turned my head back the mouse had climbed up my lab coat sleeve. It proceeded to climb up the sleeve and around to my back - as I'm sure you can imagine I was jumping around like a cartoon character. Long story short (ok.. its short no matter how you tell it) I couldn't use the mouse for the experiment.

In my high school chemistry class, I forgot to put on gloves one day when pouring acid under the hood. Of course I spilled some on my finger, and I had a hangnail, and the acid stung my skin there. My reflex was to stick my finger in my mouth and suck on it, but that tasted really bad, and burned my tongue too. I jerked my finger out of my mouth so fast that I smashed my hand onto a corner of the hood and bruised it. And I spilled my graduated cylinder of 6M HCl all over the place. It all happened in about half a second. But nobody saw it, and that, of course, is the most important part of any lab accident!
