Mary Crawford: I wish to play with amylose. what I'd like to know is which one of you gentleman would like to make a glycosidic linkage with me?
Elinor Dashwood: I might add that our lab doesn't work with amylose.
Edmund Bertram: I think it's brilliant! I'll take glucose.
Tom Bertram: Yes! We should work on sugars! And we should work on it in my father's study.
(as the men are not paying attention, the two unappreciated ladies speak to each other...)
Fanny Price: This is a terrible idea.
Elinor Dashwood: No kidding.
Fanny Price: You should say something. You're the safety officer.
Elinor Dashwood: ...and what kind of difference would that make.
Elizabeth Bennet: Stupid sugary talk. You guys are morons. We don't work with amylose.
Tom Bertram: ...you know. You're right. We don't.
Fanny and Elinor: *glare at each other. glare at Elizabeth*
Fanny: (mutters) because when she says it it sounds so much more commanding...

Progress! 6 pages!

Chemistry lab humor + Jane Austen -- I think you've invented your very own genera of fiction. Congratulations. It's hilarious. It makes me want to see your REAL Jane-Austen-in-a-lab story. I hope all your work on your candidacy report isn't keeping you away from fun writing. (Punt! You know you want to!)

By the way,
