CTY Jokes

with 5 comments

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!”

  4. “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?”
