The following post talks about real semen, imaginary semen, and stuff.
People who work in healthcare tend to be earthy, morbid at times, and a little sadistic. Towards each other that is.
Two of the more awkward and pain in the ass tests we have to do in the lab are fertility analysis and sperm counts. Out of the two, fertility tests are the easiest. All you really have to do is look at the semen under the microscope; if you don't see sperms (or very, very few) swimming, then the patient's vasectomy was a success. Sperm counts on the other hand are just what they sound like. The technician must count the sperm within the specimen field, write it down, move the specimen field to another locale on the glass slide and count those sperm, write it down, move the field to yet another location, and so on. After 4 field counts, the tech averages the sperms, enters the result in the computer and sends it to the doctor who then determines the probability that their patient will be able to impregnate his wife or girlfriend. Now, before you think 'what's so hard about that?' I ask; have you tried counting those little thrashing wee beasties? Also, because you have to note the condition of the sperm (e.g. slow, deformed, healthy) within a limited time (i.e. before the little buddies stop swimming), sperm counts must be done immediately upon hitting the lab. No more than ½ hour can pass from the time of.....uh......specimen collection by the patient to the first field count.
Usually they come in during the day shift which means Larry has to do them. Larry doesn't mind doing one or two per day but he tends to get testy at any more after that. He starts to curse and stomp around in his work area. He'll turn on classical music to try to calm his nerves. We like to sit up front and watch him. Frequently we play pranks on him. Here is the best one.
They must have been running some kind of semen special that day. Larry had done three that day and had lost his sense of humor. Bob#1 (we have two Bobs) got a specimen cup and some of the antibacterial hand soap we have in the dispensers. Under normal conditions the hand soap is opaque and slightly pearlescent, but if you add a little water and stir it in very carefully so it doesn't foam or bubble, it looks almost like semen. Bob mixed up a ridiculous amount in the cup. I mean it was like 10 times the amount any man could produce in one ejaculation.
While Bob was preparing the faux semen, we filled out a sham requisition and listed the pseudo patient as Ben Dover (can't beat the oldies). Bob screwed the lid down and dribbled more of the faux semen all over the lid so that it was dripping everywhere. Bob waited until Larry's back was turned and put the oozing specimen jar on his work station and hustled back up front.
Larry turned around and saw a new semen analysis to do. He started mumbling and grumbling. He gloves up and goes to grab the jar and halts. And looked. Then looked harder. He looked at it from different angles. We started snickering. He bent down to get a really good look and stood back up shaking his head. He picked up a pencil and poked at it. We're up front trying to keep quiet.
"Gary! Come and take a look at this!" Larry said. Myopic Gary comes over.
"What is that?" Gary squints and peers. We are beginning to pass from snickering to laughing.
"It's another semen analysis but look at it! Man, it's all over the place! Did he miss? Look how much is in there! He must be a freak!" They both are poking at it trying to muster up the resolve to pick it up and try to take the lid off. At this point we are gripped in the throws of that silent, body shaking laughter where you can't breathe and your eyes are tearing up. Gary ran off and abandoned Larry to deal with it. Larry gets the lid off, prepares a slide, and changes his gloves.
"Wait for it" Bob said between chokes. Larry looks in the microscope for a few seconds.
"What the hell?!" He adjusts the magnification, the focus, and the brightness. "This doesn't make any sense." He pushes the lab intercom; "Who received the semen specimen from Ben Dover?"
"BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Larry's workstation is set up so that when he stands up, his head looks disembodied, floating over his workstation. The lighting over his head also makes his glasses reflective, making appear that he has no eyes, just flashing disks. It would be eerie except that Larry makes a perfect model of the stereotypical mad scientist. He has a cowlick from hell and insists on wearing this ancient lab coat that is 2 sizes too big.
"DAMMIT!" Larry pops up out of his chair. His head looked like a pissed off alien with reflective disks for eyes. "WHEN WILL THIS STOP BEING FUNNY?!"
As I said, that was the funniest. We've also given him faux samples with things in them. The best was a Lego man....immersed in "semen."
But don't feel too bad for ol' Larry, we've all been zinged. One time they told me that there was a semen analysis that needed processing but that there was "something kind of funky about it." I snapped on a pair of gloves and picked it up to look at it. I'm looking at it intensely, trying to find a problem when one of the bastards snuck up behind me and screamed "SPIDERS!"
Swell. Now I'll associate semen with spiders forever.
We've also managed to zing non-lab people. Our lab supply Rep frequently drops samples of stuff off for us to play with. Fortunately, he is used to our shenanigans otherwise we'd all be fired by now. One time he dropped off a semen collection kit. It looked like some sort of a condom variant. He was telling us about it when Doug the Bug (long story that involves Doug puking on an ER doctor) picked one up and said "I'll be right back." After a few minutes Doug returned with the condom-variant full of faux semen and held it up in front of the guy. "Worked for me!"
The supply Rep left in a hurry.
Of course there have been many instances of faux semen fun considering that a bunch of inappropriate maniacs work in the lab, but you get the idea. Good times, good times.

There are a solid four pages of +2 streaks with 30 or more reviews. That is stupid. I am weeding it all out by giving every one of them a +1; that way posts that have 1.99 with 200+ reviews gets best ever.
