Scaryduck writes, "I celebrated my last day on my paper round by giving everybody next door's paper, and the house at the end 16 copies of the Maidenhead Advertiser. And I kept the delivery bag. That certainly showed 'em."
What have you flounced out of? Did it have the impact you intended? What made you quit in the first place?

And in my formative years my party trick was to eat or drink anything, even things that could be dangerous to others. One day a chemist friend of mine dared me to drink some liquid nitrogen. Without a second thought I necked the whole canister. What I didn’t realise is that because nitrogen is an inert element it triggers a peristaltic spasm causing a massive purging effect, the diarrhoea was so violent that the nitrogen didn’t even have time to change from its liquid state. As I ran from the room desperately trying to get to the toilet my friend asked if I wanted to drink some more, all I could manage to shout was “No…ice squits!”

normally I hate puns, but it's the day it changes and this QOTW ran out of steam a couple of days ago. That's my excuse anyway.

Well it has been ten years (almost to the day) since I left the world of science, and by "left" I mean "got a crappy 2:2 in Biology (the crap science) from a crap universty (Reading) and had to get a crap job in a crap profession (Accountancy)".
Perhaps I could become the BBC's Science correspondent or a writer for CSI, because they spout the most bad science known to man.
