My Mouth vs. My Job

It seems sometimes that I'm often about to say something while I'm working that will get me in trouble. For example, the lab manuals for the students have check boxes, which I'm supposed to check when they complete a section of the lab. However, when a girl asks me to check her box, I have to fight down the temptation to blurt out "But I'm not a gynecologist!"

Sometimes I do say things I shouldn't. One time a student couldn't get an experiment to work right, where he had to give a cart a push up a ramp, then let it go as the motion detector took data. I came over and tried to do it, in order to see what was wrong, but when I did it the experiment worked. The student then claimed it only worked from the left side, and not the right side. As the experiment was symmetrical, I pushed it from the right side and it worked again. At which point I declared that "I have empirically proven that your theory is as incorrect as it sounds."

Look for a post in a couple of days with more serious stuff in it.
