An amusing work story

patgundWe have some "199" students come into the lab every so often. These students get credit for helping the researchers, filing, and general scut work in the lab.
Well, one of these students decided to look up the prior papers done by one of our newest researchers. So, they go to Google and run a search.
Now there's a problem with this particular researcher, who just came over from Oxford. Actually with their name. You see, she goes by her middle name and last name, The reason why, is that she shares both her first and middle name with a British topless "page 3" girl and soft-core porn actress. To make matters worse, they even look somewhat alike.
The poor 199 student, not knowing this, did a google search using the researcher's first name.
Needless to say, I had a very embarassed 199 student on my hands, who wasn't sure if the researcher she was working with had a double-life..........
