Coincidentally I was watching one of the Royal Institution lectures couple of weeks ago, 'The Periodic Table (With Experiments)' unfortunately as he said 'We can't do experiments with these ones because they're poisonous, we can't do experiments with these ones because they're highly explosive, and we can't do experiments with these ones because they're radioactive'

Years ago - many MANY years ago - as a kid I used to go to the RI Christmas Lectures...

One set was given by Professor Sir George Porter - he was a family friend and as a 12 or something year old, I was an assistant (on TV) in some of the experiments... Not like "Beaker" you understand... Regrettably, some of that footage is still on YouTube...

Friday lunchtime in the local boozer.

Three men, a doctor, engineer and a used car salesman accompanied by their dogs are extolling the cleverness of their respective pooches.

"Stethoscope" for that was the doctor's dog's name, "You see that pile of bones in the corner? Do your party trick". The animal rushed off to arrange the bones as a human skeleton.

"Impressive" said the other two.

Then "Micrometer", for that was the engineer's dog's name, "Now it's your turn time to do your thing".

The engineer's dog scrambled the skeleton and then constructed an extraordinary model of the Forth Bridge.

"Wow" was the chorus. "That really is something".

"Expense Account", for that was the salesman's dog' name, "Off you go". Whereupon the salesman's dog screwed the other two and took the afternoon off.
