Here's your hilarious joke:

Superstitious chemist A superstitious chemist is known for always wearing the same outfit for good luck; she always wears blue-jeans, a t-shirt, tennis shoes, and a yarn necklace with a vial of aldehydes as a pendant. She wears it in lab. She wore it at her graduation ceremonies. Day after day, identical outfits. Of course, people thought this is ridiculous, but her work speaks for itself; she's made many important patents, won numerous prizes, and has more than enough grant money. Her work eventually won her the Nobel prize in chemistry. Her friends and family beg her to change her attire for the Nobel prize ceremony; just this once, to dress formally as she represents herself, her university, and her country. To everyone's surprise, she agrees. She arrives in an elegant dress, stiletto high heels, and... her usual yarn necklace with a vial of aldehydes as a pendant. When her friends see her, they are a little confused. They asked her: "why did you keep the pendant? I thought you were going to dress formally!" The superstitious chemist replied: "It is formyl!"
