Thanks, Scientist Roger, for that one!
Now if I’d seen that Chemical Party video in Mr. Smith’s ninth grade chem class I would have easily passed the class. Gah, that man looked exactly like Droopy Dog minus the ears and the patch of hair on top.

My chemistry teacher’s name was Mr. Saltman, no lie. It was the only class I out and out FLUNKED in high school. SiiiiiiIIIIIIiiiiigh.
