Things I ever thought I'd say in the office, no. 165:

"There's nothing worse than a lab coat with no interesting stains."

It's funny, but it's true!

For about half a year I had a brownish stain about the size of a 50p piece on the lab coat I wore for chemistry lab back in <school that doesn't have an equivalent in the UK system>. The stained fabric became more and more brittle until it was replaced by a hole after my mum had washed the coat. No idea what it was but I'm glad I didn't get it onto my clothes.

Or onto your skin... there's one specific reagent (used for testing the presence of animo acids, funnily enough) that reacts rapidly with human flesh to leave a nice, big, bright, pink stain. The only ways to rid yourself of such a mark are tattoos, flaying your skin off or waiting 8-9 weeks for your epithelial cells to shed - one of my lab partners spilled it all over his left hand. :)

Heh. I assume the dye they use in money transport systems and bank vaults is similar.

Oh, I failed to mention that the stain was at about crotch height...

I only say it because it's true. Not that I've done it myself [innocent whistle]

Curses! My imagination has too little to work with!

I've just gone through the available stock of photos, and I'm afraid that your imagination will have to make do with what it's got!

Actually, you can have this and imagine it with no clothes on.
