So ... picture this:
A chem pre-lab lecture, where a couple of aspiring college students have just decided to go grab lunch.
So we went over to the SAC, grabbed something, and headed back so we wouldn't miss the rest of the class going upstairs for the actual lab. I had a sandwich from the deli and a bottle of Coke, he's got a burger, fries, and one of the large cups of Coke.
Now, to understand just where these two guys are coming from, you need to realize a couple things. First, chem lectures are incredibly boring. Second, they're at 1 in the afternoon. Hence, lunch.
You also need to understand that the lids for the large sodas have not quite fit properly for the last two weeks.
So we sat down in the lecture hall and proceed to begin eating. I hear this "Aw, hell," and I look up and see him trying to wipe Coke off his shirt. He's found that the lid doesn't quite fit. Yup.
Well, that kinda sucked for him. Two minutes later I look up, just as he raises the straw to take a drink ... and tips the cup. Predictably, Coke rushes out from around the lid and now gets his pants wet, too.
This was amusing. Not highly amusing, but certainly more interesting than the prof.
So then I take another bite, and I look up as he starts to dump ketchup from one of those plastic containers onto his burger. I'm watching this, and he pushes a little too hard on the container, and it snaps. "Oh, sh**. Gimme your napkin." The container, in snapping, splattered ketchup over his pants. So now he's got Coke on his outer shirt, and both Coke and ketchup on his pants. He runs off to the bathroom to wash it off, and I'm laughing so hard tears are forming. The people behind are highly amused, and it gets bad enough that the prof stops the lecture and looks at me until I stop laughing long enough for him to go on.
Hilarious. Best chem lecture we've had, especially since we then went upstairs with him handling semi-dangerous chemicals. We were forming nylon, so I have this ball of nylon that's still wet. It's sitting there drying on a piece of paper and he starts bending the paper then pulling the edges out to flick the nylon up. So at one point it bounces off his shirt.
The nylon very quickly gets put down.
Amusing day.
