I THINK I'VE FOUND MY STAIN

Not so many years ago a biochemist grew a genetic duplicate of himself. Unfortunately, the duplicate was born with Turret's Syndrome and could only talk in four letter (i.e. filthy) words. The biochemist decided to dispose of his experiment and took his double to Lover's Leap to throw him off. Of course the scientist was arrested for trying to make an obscene clone fall.

Note: it's "Tourette's Syndrome".

Speaking of cloning -- a *TRUE* story from my college days: professor was _apologizing_ for not having the last batch of homework graded and back to us -- he was utterly swamped with things that had to be done, acting depart- ment chair, acting _dean_, and half-a-dozen *other* 'extra' duties had all come to roost with him that quarter. Anyway, he remarked that he was thinking of getting himself cloned -- that way he *might* be able to get everything done. A voice comes floating up from the back of the classroom: "But, wouldn't that be *breeding* inefficiency?" Entire classroom, _including_ the prof, utterly 'lost it'.

Later on, the prof accused me of authoring that remark. Admittedly, me, and two of my 'troublemaker' friends _were_ sitting in the back row that day. But it _wasn't_ us! As I told the prof, "I *wish* I'd thought of it!" I _think_ he believed me.
