Strange Brew by John Deering for October 17, 2019

I’ve heard some pretty funny stories about the lab fridges and their contents, from folks who work at the nearby university. For instance, did you know that there are things in bio labs that require 100% pure ethanol? But the funnier ones involve mistaken identities. As for me, I’ve only ever storied my lunch in the lunch fridge. Though one place I worked, it turned out to be smarter to bring lunch in an insulated container and keep it cool w/ blue ice.

Eew!

So….hands off the ladyfingers?

Someday, YOUR name could be on a toe tag.

Which fridge, there seems to be a lot of them around?

I once had the task (self appointed) of cleaning out the fridge at work. I donned a surgical mask and gloves and told a coworker, “Tie a rope around me; I’m going in.”

We have a frige at work and I will NEVER store anything in it……who knows what resides in it?

A stiff reminder.

Yeah, they’re not your organs.

Years ago I worked at the County Public Defenders Office. The lawyers kept their lunch bags in a fridge named, the Jeffrey Dahmer Memorial Refrigerator!!!

If there’s something in the fridge that doesn’t have your name on the toe tag, don’t eat it…
