what student would have the stomach to do biology class dissections and studies before lunch break?

They’re dissecting what the the school serves for lunch in Biology class?

I had Biology immediately after lunch, in 9th grade. That was even worse.

Say that’s funny teach they don’t look like my little brother

Sounds like something they’d deep-fry and sell as food at the ballpark in Seattle along with the grasshoppers.

The fun one was when we had to dissect things, and everyone smelled of formaldehyde during lunch and the rest of the day.

Love the smell of formaldehyde in the morning!

I was lucky..we moved between 7 th and 8 th grade, and I never had to dissect anything.

I had biology right after lunch. That and my life as an animal owner which included dumping dead rats out of my horse’s drinking bucket before breakfast made me the winner of every gross-out game ever invented.

That teacher looks just like the guy who ran my high-school cafeteria.

Maggots? You ain’t seen nothing yet until you’ve seen maggots falling out of a person’s wound in the ER.

Marilynnbyerly – That’s pretty good. When I worked as an EMT/Paramedic we always joked that we could clear out a restaurant if we just started swapping war stories. To this day, I still want to try it.

Still better than the cafeteria food.

Ah, memories.

In Junior High, we had to determine our blood type. We used a lancet to get a drop of blood for typing. I was head over heels in love with the girl who was my lab partner. She was too afraid to stick her finger and asked me to do it for her. It was the only time I ever got to hold her hand.

sigh

Where I went to school Fourth Period was AFTER lunch.

After 40 years as a biology technician, I don’t get the joke…
