> [@Cardigan](#): > > Willy was a scientist but now he is no more > what Willy thought was H20 was H2SO4 I always heard that as “Little Willie.” Alas for Little Willie. We shall not see him more. For what he thought was H2O Was H2SO4. Some more Little Willies: Little Willie lit a rocket Which his dad had in his pocket. Next day Willie told Cousin Dan, “My daddy is a traveling man.” Willie saw some dynamite, Couldn’t understand it quite. Curiosity never pays; It rained Willie for seven days. Little Willie, quick as flashes Fell in the fire and burned to ashes. By and by the room grew chilly But no one dared to poke up Willie. Little Willie from the mirror Licked the mercury off Thinking in his childish error It would cure his whooping cough. At the funeral, Willie’s mother Smartly said to Mrs. Brown, “Twas a chilly day for Willie When the mercury went down!” ---

> [@Nametag](#): > > There’s a building at Berkeley (Dwinelle Hall, maybe?) whose bathroom stalls were filled with grout puns: Alexander the Grout, Grout Expectations, The Madness of Grouts, etc. . . . Long ago, at UC Davis, there was one bathroom with crack puns in the grout. Sadly, it was long enough ago that I don’t remember any of them.
