We had to go out in the fields and catch mice and rats before we could begin our studies...........(first job, before animal regulations)

Well  we  had  to  go  down the  blast furnace, grab a  bit  of  steel and  make  it  into  a   microtome  knife  before  we  were even  allowed in the  lab......................not  to  mention finding and cutting down  a  Haematoxylum  campechianum tree before lunch..

.... and it was always snowing and I had to walk 19 miles to work uphill....both ways. . We had to stock our cryostat with fresh cut blocks of ice from the river 10 miles away. (uphill, both ways) We had to start our Bunsen burner with steel and flint and we used our fingers instead of forceps.  G. Gorden Liddy was a wimp compared to us 

Kids today don't know how good they got it! (They also don't know who G. Gordon Liddy was but can instinctively Google it) 

- Just some Friday fun for what has turned into a fun thread. - Oh wait, I forgot, this forum is for professional questions - so- Can you please unsubscribe me?

Have a great weekend! - Bill

Back in the 70's we would boil metal base molds in water using a bunsen burner and a 3 legged ring stand.
