To remove scale from the bath, acid works much better than a base

I'm not gonna lye

In chemistry class, my son was combining acetic acid with some sort of base when he disappeared...

I guess it's true what they say -- he who acetates is lost.

How do you make sure your drug deals remain perfectly neutral?

You drop acid and touch base!

If you take LSD by accident listen to some dubstep, bass will neutralize the acid

LSD is also known as acid, bass sounds same as base, in chemistry acid and base neutralize each other

Plumbing problems, dad joking the wife

We have recently been having problems with the plumbing, water draining very slowly etc. We tried different chemicals on different days to try and fix it before biting the bullet and getting someone clear them for us.

First day I started out with HCl and told my wife I was "going off to drop some acid." She groaned.

A few days later we switched to NaOH and I brushed my hair to the side and asked my wife if she liked my Skrillex impersonation. She told me it wasn't a very good impersonation. I said "hold your judgment for when I drop the base.".... She threatened me with a knife and told me to get out while laughing.

Dad joked my class today

In chemistry we were going over ph levels and acids and bases. After we finished the notes a girl says, "oh that was pretty simple" I immediately reply with, "I thought it was pretty basic" I got a groan/chuckle from people.

My brother was telling me about an article he read

It said cancer likes to thrive in an acidic environment. The article rated popular bottled water brands to show their pH balance. Evian had the lowest acidity so it was considered the best to drink.

I turned to him and said, "Let me get this straight. The article is essentially saying, 'It's all about that base.'"

Eyes were rolled and soft chuckles were had. Although we're brothers, we agreed that was definitely something dad would say.

A (very slightly) scientific dad-joke I just used on my long-suffering GF.

So, my GF was watching True Blood. I had donated platelets today, which I do every month. The following exchange ensued:

Me: "I wonder do vampires like platelets?"

GF: "They probably consider it one of their main food groups. Like we would view amino acids."

Me: "You're a meano!" (she has to endure lot of shite like this."

GF: "Well you're acidic!"

Me: "What are you basing this on?"

GF: groan
