Funny Wayne - nice play on scientific words. Have you considered putting together a stand-up routine for amateur night at the comedy clubs?

I have to forward this link to my Nephew studying for his PhD in Chemistry at CU, but he never talks to me, dang youngsters.
I hated chemistry though. Had a chemistry set as a teenager and almost burned down the house, hehehe. I am much better with electricity.
Wayne, errr Seasons.. that was funny.
Q. What do you do when you find a dead chemist?
A. Barium.
If you want to be, press one. If you want not to be, press 2

Maybe stand-up would LEAD to a gig at the PALADIUM, but my puns are so bad I wouldn't want the audience to SULFUR.

Ah, the Wayne orgy continues... you just can't help yourself.
