+You think to yourself, hey, it's a test tube, for God's sake. Pretty
+soon, though, the rush from a test tube isn't enough. You want to
+experiment more and more. Then before you know it, you're laying in

+a three neck flask in the other, strung out and begging for grant
+money.

+product, I can seek it out in an eyeblink.
