We had lots of fun at the photo lab I worked at "back in the day" and lots of sexual innuendos thrown around. We actually told the women that came in looking good that they were looking nice. Now days that can get a guy fired.
We had a ton of small plastic bottles that came with chemicals to mix up to add to the processors for processing the film or the prints. We also bought test strips from Kodak that came packed in dry ice. So we had a supply of tough plastic bottles, and free dry ice. The boss's son was a terror with those. I was on the throne in the restroom, and in rolled a gallon jug that was was swelling up. I finished in a hurry, and bailed out just as the bottle blew with a loud bang.
One of the stinky chemical was a toner for black and white prints, Selenium toner. I hated to use it because it smelled like the sewer backed up at the curry factory. It was rank. I put a little of that on the bottom of the boss's son's darkroom counter as a payback. He kept looking for the sewer backup all day. If I had used some of the really stinky chemicals it would have run all the employees out.
