Re: ETOH at WalMart

From:Margaret Gondo <mgondo@popmail.opt.uh.edu>

You know people, I was trying to be funny but obviously that isn't how
it came across. So let me clarify.  I have worked in labs that have had
profoundly SLOW purchasing departments where it takes FOREVER to get
orders in.  When I saw the ETOH at Walmart, I thought I would be a good
histonet citizen and pass the information along in case someone out
there who was experiencing an ETOH supply crunch could be helped out.  I
never said I would actually DRINK the stuff or try using Jack Daniels to
differentiate my staining. 

I'll close with the below listed poem from the biotech.ufl.edu website.

From: "Ronald M. Anderson" 

Sadly there was no author line on the following bit of humor when
someone sent it to me...

I Shot A Query Into The Net 

I shot a query into the net.
I haven't got an answer yet,
But seven people gave me hell 
And said I ought to learn to spell;

A posted message called me rotten 
For ignoring mail I'd never gotten;
An angry message asked me, Please 
Don't send such drivel overseas;

A lawyer sent me private mail 
And swore he'd slap my butt in jail --
I'd mentioned Un*x in my gem 
And failed to add the T and M;

One netter thought it was a hoax:
"Hereafter, post to net dot jokes!";
Another called my grammar vile 
And criticized my writing style.

Each day I scan each Subject line 
In hopes the topic will be mine;
I shot a query into the net.
I haven't got an answer yet ...
