A beaker of helicobacter
Bunsen has brewed up a beaker containing a solution of Helicobacter.
...
Bunsen: This will win us the Nobel Prize.
Beaker: This?
Bunsen: But we have to show that it causes gastritis. Drink up.
Beaker: I… drink it?
Bunsen: If you get gastritis, we’ve proved that helicobacter causes it.
Beaker: How about you drink it?
Bunsen: Drinking it is the easy part. Writing is the hard part. And if I drink it and get gastritis, who's going to write the report?
Beaker: Promise we’ll share the prize?
Bunsen: Promise. Drink up. The whole beaker.

I always thought Beaker was exploited. Its time he looked for another job, or at least mediation.
funny 1!
Exploited? He's lucky to have a job! He can't quit unti; we give his passport back to him.
