    I've been single-stranded too long! Lonely ATGCATG would like to pair up
    with congenial TACGTAC.

    Menage a trois! Ligand seeks two receptors into binding and mutual
    phosphorylation. Let's get together and transduce some signals.

    Some dates have called me a promotor. Others have referred to me as a real
    operator. Personally, I think I'm just a cute piece of DNA who is still
    looking for that special transcription factor to help me unwind.

    Highly sensitive, orally active small molecule seeks stable well-structured
    receptor who knows size isn't everything.

    There must be a rational way to meet a date! I'm tired of hanging out in
    those molecular diversity bars, hoping to randomly bump into the right
    peptide. I want a molecule that will fit right into my active site and
    really turn me on. I'll send you my crystal structure if you send me
    yours!

    Gene therapy graduate. After years of producing nothing but gibberish, I've
    shed my exons and am ready to express my introns. All I need is a cute
    vector to introduce me to the right host.

    My RNA, I'm sorry I misread your UAAUAAUAA and inserted three tyrosines
    when you repeatedly asked me to stop. Something got lost in the
    translation. Please forgive me.

    Naked DNA with sticky ends seeks kanamycin-resistant plasmid. EcoR1 sites
    preferred.

    Uninhibited virus seeks reason to make me shed my coat protein.

    This very selective oliogonucleotide has been probing for just the right
    target for long term hybridization.

    Mature cell seeks same who still enjoys cycling and won't go apoptotic on
    me. Let's fight senescence together!

    I'm a prolific progenitor with great potential for growth and self-renewal.
    Call me if you're a potent hematopoietic factor who still believes in
    endless nights of colony stimulation.

    I don't always express myself on the surface, but I'm looking for a signal
    that you appreciate my complexity. Send me the right message that will
    penetrate my membranes, turn on my protein expression and release my
    potential energy.

    From "Readers Digest," April '93, 'Campus Comedy', p.125-6

    As we took notes, out anatomy instructor labored through a lecture on
    the way nerve cells transmit impulses. "Who can tell me how these cells
    communicate with one another?" he asked, expecting someone to explain
    the phenomenon of neurotransmission.
    After a few muffled whispers, one student finally spoke up. "With
    cellular phones?"

    "...at Lamar University in Beaumont Texas, I noticed this sign on the
    door of the microbiology lab: 'STAPH ONLY!'"

    Human being to a narrowminded science-o-holic Cell Biologist:
    Human being: "You are so narrowminded, only preoccupied with your cells.
    You don't know anything about the world you are living in. For instance,
    what do you know about culture?"

    Science-o-holic: "You mean CELL cultures?"

    Scientifically, maybe body cells -do- replace themselves completely in
    seven years -- but, legally, you're still married.

                        What's hot on the tube this month?

    What's out for the hottest new show on the Dizzy Channel.

    A new dramatic series set in the hustle bustle world of high fashion
    protein synthesis It's ...

                                     ROUGH ER

    See the drama of these hot young ribosomes as they fight to save proteins,
    surrounded by the harsh and cruel reducing environment of the big
    cytoplasm.

    Watch as the mutilated remains of spliced and modified RNA come into the ER
    to be transformed into hardy new proteins. Ready to take on anything the
    extracellular environment can throw at them, as they go for the Golgi.

    Stay tuned to your TV listings for where to tune for
