Today Beaker was at the front of the lab in his lab coat, glancing suspiciously at a dozen small wastebaskets full of paper.

"Oh it's much improved, Beaky," a voice was saying through the speakerphone. "Fireproof paper! Your documents will never be in peril again!"

Beaker meeped dubiously, then disconnected the call and passed out one basket to each victim student.

"Meep meep meep meep meep mee!" he said, holding up a small flamethower, then pointing to the flamethrowers on each person's station. "Meep meep meep meep mee!"

He ignited his. "Mee, mee, meep!"

And then he tried to light the paper in his wastebasket.

Well.

At least the fire suppression system in this room was incredibly robust? Maybe some of Dr. Bunson's experimental paper didn't catch fire?

But it's Beaker's class, so the probability of you leaving covered in foam are higher than your normal class...

"Absolutely not," Sam declared. "I refuse."

His refusal to touch the flamethrower was not going to protect him from being covered in foam, was it?

Oh, 100 percent. It's like Sam knew how Muppet physics worked!

Here comes the foam now, Sam. Enjoy that.

How did a creature made of felt sigh so heavily? That was a question for the ages.

The yelling that immediately followed was far more understandable. As was the very angry flapping of Sam's wings as he flung foam about the room.
