Holy Cow!! I got all 25!! I knew that I was getting old (my aching joints
remind me daily), but this sort of hammers the nails into the coffin! I have
a "Banner" that is attached to our internal email here in the hospital that
reads:

"Histotechs never die.  They are preserved forever!" 

Does this mean that I have to work forever?  Just a funny thought. It helps
to lighten up the stress to have things like this to ponder on. I really got
a good laugh out of it and am sharing it with other "old timers" in the lab.
Thanks Susan for making us laugh.

Happy Cutting,
Diane

Scary.  The only one that doesn't ring a bell is P. F.
Flyers (I know I have heard it, just don't know it),
so that gives me 24 out of 25.  So, if I'm older than
dirt, why ain't I retired?
