I'm reading the classics on the discover of estrogen. This little bit reminded me of what I do when i collect urine from my mice.

...Doisy isolated the female sex hormones, estrone (Theelin) and estriol (Theelol), from hundreds of gallons of human pregnancy urine. The first two JBC Classics in this set represent this work. Doisy told the following story about collecting the urine.
One driver, while making collections of urine, committed a traffic violation, and the policeman who glanced in the back of the car and saw the bottles with amber fluid thought he had caught a bootlegger. He would not believe the driver so he was invited to get in to sample the amber fluid. After pulling the cork (summertime and the preservative had evaporated) and sniffing, the cop said, "My God it is urine! Your job is bad enough without getting pinched for it—drive on."
