CTY Jokes
Okay, I’ll start about my CTY experience with a few pick-up line jokes I learned at CTY.
1. Relating to genetics (especially DNA replication and transcription): “I wish I were a helicase so that I could unzip your genes!”
2. On the idea of bacterial pan-genomes: “Hey, baby. I see you have a large peripheral genome. Do you want to do some horizontal gene transfer?”
3. On lateral gene transfer: “I noticed that your serotype resembles mine and you lack an F-plasmid. Let’s conjugate!” (Corollary: some joke about “my f-factor being longer than yours”)
4. On Ultimate Frisbee: “You be a cherry-picker. I’ll hammer it into your end-zone!”

“I wish I were a helicase so that I could unzip your genes!” A friend of mine (who took Bio earlier than me, but isn’t that interested in it) made a Facebook group called “Is it just me, or does ATP synthase sound incredibly erotic?”
