Um, really?

Quotes from Loud Beardy Colleague (who was having rants at various people within my hearing around the building):

I've lost my balls!

I went to prop my office door open, reached down, and my balls had gone!

Yours are no use, they're squishy!

I have to have my balls back for class on Thursday, the students need to pass them around!

And from Lab Manager tidying up my group's space:
[asked why there was a row of 500ml beakers] : Oh, those are for Steve's big ones. He says he produces a lot of fluid sometimes.

[asked what an etching tool, one of those gadgets for putting postcodes onto hardwear etc., was]: hmm, isn't that Joe's vibrator? Joe likes to put a rubber on the end of it and wave it around.

****************

Yes, I am childish. But sniggering at those really cheered up a long day.

    Well, you gave this equally childish fellow academic a laugh, anyway.

    I don't have a beard, and I don't use balls to keep my door open, but I often wail in the hallway: I've lost my balls.

    Because after being beaten badly by the various Deans and so forth, I really have.
