Aunty e Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 I used to have a Darth Tater Mr Potato Head on my desk, but then the person who actually owned it stole it back. I was very sad. As I went to the canteen to get a coffee to cheer myself up, I had a sudden brain wave: A Toy EGLU!! With little toy chickens. Around 4" high, with rubber chickens (like my little pony rubber), a working door and eggport, that you can take apart like the real eglu and put back together. Made out of plastic like fisherprice toys. Probably don't need the run though, as that would be difficult to fit on my desk. Or you could have fluffy chickens, I'm easy as long as they can stand up. maybe some little tiny plastic eggs too. Anyway, James, make one and I'll buy it for lots of people (me (and my nephews)).

Louise Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 Send him to the DIY store for a long weight or a big stand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cate in NZ Posted March 31, 2006 Share Posted March 31, 2006 I first came across the long stand joke when I was a student nurse in theatres. Horrible anaesthetists, or ODA's more often, would pick a fairly gullible but enthusiastic student and tell her (Barts in those days only had female student nurses ) that they couldn't get the drip to run in fast enough, to do that they needed a long stand. So the poor girl would be sent to the next door theatre for a "Long Stand". Of course they were asked to just wait while someone got it..... and wait, and wait They actually kept a log of how long the Longest Stand have ever been Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnnieP Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 I am ashamed to say that at the first school I worked in (Inner London: You really did need to have the occasional laugh to release the tension), we used to play lots of jokes on our children, not really for them, as they didn't understand, but to make other teachers laugh. We used to send them to other classes with messages. One of the best I got was when a little boy was sent to a male teacher and asked for a "Fallopian Tube". He said he hadn't got one, then sent him to an older teacher, who said, I'm sorry, I've lost mine, then on to another, "Sorry, I'm using mine", then finally me, and I replied, "sorry, mine don't work properly"!

chocchick Posted April 1, 2006 Share Posted April 1, 2006 Actually not April fools, but... my friend was looking after a student in our NMR group (using £0.5million magnets to do science research) He told the student she had to prepare her protein sample for the machine facing north and gave her a compass Wouldn't make any difference whatsover, but very funny.
