Extreme science couponing

There is a show on TV called Extreme Couponing.  I have no idea what it is about (couponing, I suppose), but in the promo spots, the host looks blissfully happy as she tosses coupons up into the air.

How lovely would it be to be so happy about science purchases?  Where are my coupons for buy one pipet box, get one free?

Of course, if I tossed Fisher catalogs around with such enthusiasm, not only would my students have final confirmation that I've lost it, but I'd likely end up with a concussion.  Or two.


What would be your ideal coupon?

This coupon can be exchanged for 1000 square feet of labbe space.

I'd love a coupon that can be exchanged for absences from all departmental meetings during an entire academic year.

I get so many stupid lab supply coupon email SPAM every day. But I really want a coupon for "Eliminate one crappy paper review free".
