For some strange reason, this thread inspired me to revisit Gaston's song with my now teenaged daughter.

A close friend and I used to sing show tunes in the lab. Gaston (from Beauty and the Beast) was a perennial favorite. Gilbert and Sullivan were also particularly fertile territory. Well, and Tom Lehrer. Which sort of goes without saying, really.

I never applied any lipstick at work, so it really wasn't a problem mixing that up with the P-32 pig or the high-speed centrifuge tubes.

Anyone for a chorus of "Nitrile is a Girl's Best Friend?"
