xoB - he does work from home!

At the door you'll be asked to give a hair & blood sample, a buccal swab will be taken, and you'll be set!

Last one to the theater room is a rotten egg!!

Wolf - Ooooh you have no idea. The errors are one thing, but it's the stuff they completely fabricate that really drives him crazy.
In the forensic community they call it the "CSI effect". It's a real problem when being in front of a jury, and they don't understand why you didn't pull out the "crimescenescanner2000" like they saw on CSI.

Yeah, you are going to have the person that processes the crime scene being the same person that processes the evidence in the lab (using magical powders, liquids & equipment that don't exist). Of course they are also investigating the suspect, and ultimately will be there for the arrest. You can almost hear the criminal saying "if it weren't for those meddling CSI guys, I would have gotten away with it!"

You have no idea of how many people really think it works that way.

Hey, Els! Thanks for noticing!

You all know that, deep down, I'm a pussycat.

I hear ya! Mr. Saur usually points out the poor pipetting technique used by the CSIs. Plus he's a chemist, so he pretty much knows how to use a pipette.

I know my semi-estranged dad would take great delight in buying my three kids a drum kit if he could be bothered to shop for himself. But he can't, so he sends one check to cover all birthday presents and Christmas. Do I need counselling because I used it to get them a drum kit?

Ok, I'm ruined. No kazoos in town at all. Every shop owner looked at me like I was crazy for wanting six of them, much less one.

I'm writing this down for next year.
