For the last few days, our lift has been out of order because it made a very scary noise. We are pleased to report that we are once again fully flat access to all galleries with a lift in full working order.

It turned out, the lift needed lube. The moral of the story is lube is IMPORTANT.

Please note that vaginas do not typically make a scary noise when they need lube.

Please also note that WD40 is a great lube for lifts, but should never be applied to a vagina.

And vice versa, we suppose. A nice body safe water-based lube probably wouldn't do the lift much good.

@vagina_museum I did accidentlally pour about a litre of lemonade down a lift-shaft last weekend from an exploding bottle, and I can report that it seems not to a recommendable combination either.
@EarthOrgUK @vagina_museum Please tell us more!

@mahryekuh @vagina_museum It was all a bit sweet smelling and sticky, dripping from one level to the next, and took more paper towels to mop up than I had available ... and I had to rush off and supervise students without cleaning up fully.

Sounds like it ought to be part of a raunchy novel...

@EarthOrgUK @vagina_museum But why the exploding bottle? Was it carbonated?

Edit: Also yes, from the notification preview I thought we were getting a whole different type of story. 😂

@mahryekuh @EarthOrgUK @vagina_museum
Lemonade in the UK is usually carbonated yes. I still think this story is missing some essential details though.
@brunogirin @mahryekuh @EarthOrgUK @vagina_museum It's like Sprite I think the USA version is.

@mahryekuh @vagina_museum I was pushing a small trolley full of snacks and drinks between floors to fuel the students. As I emerged from the lift doors on the higher floor, a 2l bottle of carbonated lemonade made a bid for freedom, slipped out of the trolley, its top came off, and contents gushed* into the gap between the lift and the shaft before I could catch it and stop it...

*Insert inn-u-end-o here, pfnar, pfnar

@EarthOrgUK @mahryekuh @vagina_museum
Did someone capture the incident on camera?

@brunogirin @mahryekuh @vagina_museum

Nah! Though a couple of students did witness the event and oo-ed and ar-ed sufficiently to fluff my ego...

@EarthOrgUK @brunogirin @vagina_museum They’re gonna remember this story! Thanks for sharing
