So I was working at my desk this morning, and there was a Biology class in the library doing research on diseases. I sent a document to the laser printer that all the computers in the library share, and when I went to get it, I saw that one of the little researchers had printed out a website but hadn't picked it up. I looked at the topic, turned to the group, and very nearly called out to a class of 25 sophomores:

"Okay! Who has genital herpes?"

Hey, it works when they're studying the Civil War.
