LACK OF OBSERVATION.
The chemistry professor was trying to impres6 his students with the importance o£ "observation. Picking up a pot of more than usually odiferous chemicals, he thrust his hand into it and licked a finger. "Taste of it, gentlemen," he commanded, passing the pot from student to student. After each had sampled its contents, and gagged, the professor laughed in triumph. I told you so!" he shouted. "You need to develop the faculty of observation. If you had observed you would have seen that the finger I stuck in the pot was not the finger I stuck in my mouth."
