Overheard behind me this morning

[chaobell]

"Here, lick this battery." (orphaned CMOS battery of dubious health and even more dubious origin)
"What!?"
"Lick this battery."
"Wh--no!"
"C'mon, it's only three volts, I just want to see if it's still good."
"Then you lick it."
"I don't like the taste of batteries."
"Well, neither do I!"
"C'mon!"
"Dude, you don't even know where it's been! It might have, like, computer herpes or something."
"Sure I do! It was right over there on the bench."
"..........oh, fine."
"...........well?"
"....aah. Ith thtill good. Here."
"Dude! Wipe it off fir--EWW."
"Hah."

I WORK IN A ZOO
