OK, now time for my favorite quote from my carbonate geology professor.

While snorkeling in the Keys, one of our group wanted to stay behind and not swim the channel b/c he didn't think he was a strong enough swimmer. He snorkeled in shallow water, and encountered jelly fish, most of which wound up in his trunks, or so he says. The antidote to jelly fish stings is to apply Adolph's meat tenderizer on the affected area (amino acids?). Reportedly, he got out of the water, holding his crotch, yelling "I'm in pain, I'm in pain." Pretty fun in and of itself. He applied Adolph's meat tenderizer to the affected area to get some relief.

Subsequently, he relayed the story to the rest of my group, which prompted my carbonate professor to pose the following question: "So let me understand this correctly, you put meat tenderizer on your meat?"

Funny at the time.
