Did you hear about the chemist who was reading a book about helium and just couldn't put it down?
He went round to Millie Amp's flat, put her on his pick-up and took her for a ride on his megacycle. They rode across a wheatstone bridge and stopped at a magnetic field by a flowing current. Micro Farad, attracted by Millie Amp's characteristic curves soon had her fully charged and excited, and her resistance dropped to its minimum value.
He then took out his tension probe and inserted it into her socket, connecting them in parallel, and began short circuiting her shunt using maxwell's corkscrew rule.
Fully excited Millie Amp began moaning, " Mho, mho, give me mho ". With Micro's discharge tube operating at maximum current flow, Millie soon reached her peak level. The excessive current overheated her shunt and she lost all her electrons.
They fluxed all night, trying various connections until Micro's magnet had a soft iron core and lost its field strength. At a square wave length from Micro, Millie tried self-induction and damaged her solenoids. Meanwhile with the battery fully discharged, Micro was unable to excite his field, so they spent the rest of the night reversing polarity and blowing each other's fuses.
Whiskey Worms
A chemistry teacher one day decided to teach his class about the dangers of alcohol.
He thought up a neat little experiment, and showed it to his class.
He had two glass tumblers, one filled with clean water, and the other with whiskey. He placed a live worm in each glass. The worm in water was perfectly fine, however the worm which was dropped in whiskey died almost instantly.
Rather pleased with the experiment, he decided to ask the class what they could deduce from it. The class were silent for several seconds, until one boy at the back called out: "Drink whiskey and you won't get worms!"
