Female PI to male group leader, during a post-seminar discussion of a particular method:
Come along and spend three hours in the dark with us
This incident reminded of when I was a fresh-faced young student doing my Part II lab project, and I took the new lab tech upstairs to show her the dark room and X-Omat. We got back to the lab and my supervisor asks her, "How was it for you?".
You could hear me blush.

She'd already cultured my cells. There was no other choice.

Is it the right place to mention that a condom (probably used, I don't know if anyone looked closely enough) was once discovered in the darkroom garbage where I did my PhD?
Thought not.

You did your PhD in the darkroom garbage?
That explains a lot.

Um, yes, I suppose it does.
Related to this, I knew a graduate student who was highly praised by his supervisor for always having beautiful results. What he never seemed to realize was that the student was working all day and all night, and throwing out everything that didn't work well.
Darkroom garbage, indeed.
