I for one am fond of the telescopic soap dispenser extending from the ceiling.

Dr. Sketch! You have sent my mind even further into the gutter than before!

Every once in a while, my mouth-words do right by some.

Now THAT'S what I call "getting support from the state."

Circular

Chippy

I have windows like that in my house. We live on an island and the house has a very nautical theme. If anyone's interested in the architecture, I can post pix on the forum.

High-back Chair

Chippy

My mother would love to put me in one of those. She's always bugging me to sit up straight. I can't help it. After swim practice, all my shoulders want to do is slump.

Paperwork Crypt

Chippy

I'd feel guilty if I read those, but I know I wouldn't be able to resist.

Appreciation

Chippy

The mess on the floor beneath the chair reminds me of the discarded skin from a fish fillet.

Folded

Chippy

Agreed. A puzzle on an examination table. Sometimes, the patient can be a complicated puzzle to the doctor. Pieces are missing, the picture is unlear. Despite the dictors best efforts, he cannot help the patient, and he gives up, folding the examination table. Years later, the patient remains, still broken, waiting for someone to make him whole again.

Hollow

Chippy

Oh...My...GOD! What a SHOT! You just can't make stuff like that up. If I had seen that in person, I would have taken a photo as well, but it wouldn't have come out nearly as well. It does resemble a skull, but I'd never actually think it was a skull. Please sell this as a print! The blue hues in the b/r really compliment the object.

Stretchers

Chippy

Kahuna69- Your ignorance does not even deserve a response, but I can't let it go. This state school was basically a specialized hospital. I see nothing unusual about having stretchers in a hospital.

Walker

Chippy

I have a friend from highschool who used something like this. Mentally, she was normal, but something had gone horribly wrong during her birth. In middle school, the kids would start singing the jingle "CREE-E-EPY CRAWLER!" when she was going down the hall in her walker. SO cruel! I think I roughed up a younger kid for doing that one time.

Looks like Eggbeaters (fake eggs that come in a carton).

The Lab

Chippy

That's gross and disrespectful. Hopefully your friend got a nice case of teatnus or at least an STD.

Infectious Waste Bag

Chippy

I think the leftovers from my high school cafeteria went in those.

Twisted Window

From this angle, it looks like the window has a windshield wiper.

Ah, fond memories of stinky aircraft laboratories.

Looks like the screen fainted from the stench.
