Dead scary. . .
I'm studying Medicine now, so for my work experience I spent a few days in hospital. Two of these days were in the pathology lab - you know, like Quincy? Or that Irish girl from Silent Witness.
Anyway, it seems they have a little ritual for such noobs as myself. I was invited to observe an autopsy, and much to delight, invited further if I'd like to mark with a pen where I thought the lungs might be on this 30something male corpse...
Much to my surprise, as soon as i touched his skin with the pen, he jumped up and yelled something along the lines of, "Boo".
... Much to his surprise, I punched him in the face and broke his nose.
I gave them all flowers and chocolates though.

Tuba Mute
I play the tuba. I used to play in a youth orchestra.
There was a very ditsy (but very buff) oboe player, who was very easily convinced that the only people who could manufacture my tuba Mute were NASA, given its size and complexity.
A tuba mute is essentially an inverted metal bell.
....made by NASA.
