Of course, you do know that all Noble Gases are male, right?

... from the periodic table (a large poster) as he pointed to the symbols.

When it was my turn, he pointed to "Kr" and I accidentally said, "Kryptonite." Several students laughed hysterically as I said, "I mean Krypton! Krypton!"

I guess that was really funny to a bunch of my fellow "honors" students back then.

The bartender says, "You can't come in here! We don't serve noble gases!"

Helium doesn't react.
