right stripper
Some parts of my lab work can be seriously dead free.
At one point, I cycled home, ate some bread and brought my laptop to the lab.
Then typed my report until my battery died 3 hrs later…
And eventually I had a conversation with my groupmate …
"... what's the difference between men's and women's lab coat? Why do they sell it separately in the bookstore?"
" ... the way it is buttoned up ..."
" ... but why??"
" ... good question .... hmm??"
And after coming home I realized I read about this somewhere some long time ago and so I dug out the book.
Its called 'Street Smart Trivia' ... which answers all the weird questions an alien would ask a Japanese explain the eccentrics of Japan.
" Traditional robes are worn the same way for both male and female; left part over the right. (Opposite is for the dead) As for western clothes, it is different (as portrayed in the illustration). First of all, left-over-right (men) is made easy for right handed people.
In olden days women still wore corsets and it was rare for a woman to be able to dress herself. Most women of the aristocracy had servants help them dress.
Another theory is that right-over-left (women) is more convenient for breast feeding (even lab coats??)
Lastly, a sexual theory : it makes it easier for a man to remove a woman's clothing ... (even lab coats??) "
hmmmmm... who said scientists live sexless lives?

Anyway, this town is dead over summer and there were just 3 people around to celebrate... in an indian restaurant. Gee-san made tiramisu (or was it cheese cake) ... and we ate loads the end...lol
And received several text messages so at least I know I exist in the eyes of most people...gah...
