The Slimiest Creature On Earth

Question from 5-year-old granddaughter:
“Do you know the slimiest creature on earth?”
Thinks: Sleazebag Guy where I worked in the 1970s — antediluvian 1970s attitudes. But don’t cross swords with women who work in a 1970s lab — scant safety regs, access to electric shock devices, indelible ink, and nasty chemicals. Sleazebag Guy came to regret knowing us.
