Common Reaction Puns

Two chemistry professors at my school hated each other. No one knows why the rivalry started, but it escalated from common pranks to elaborate traps using their knowledge of chemical reactions. After one particular prank resulted in the fire alarm being triggered, the dean had enough. He ordered the two to sit together in the lounge at lunch and spend their free periods in each other's classroom.

Over the school year, they began to get to know each other better and eventually became friends. They became god-parents to each other's children, attended their graduations, and even saw them married. After the two men retired, they continued to spend time together, they learned to make YouTube and TikTok videos about chemistry and even went golfing together. If they never hated each other enough to devise elaborate pranks, they never would have been forced to spend time together and eventually become friends connected by their love of chemistry.

It was an ironic bond.

The taberNaCl.

I'm allergic to dust mites, sneezing and a runny nose being the most common reaction, as a result I usually carry tons of tissues with me. My dad had some words of wisdom for me:

"Even if you don't have issues, you'll have lots of tissues"

Mom had a good laugh. I facepalmed in public without regret
