I can actually speak from experience in both of those scenarios. I once spilled phenol down my front and on my arm while working under an extraction hood, and THEN had to shower IN the lab. Now, granted, there were no cute guys around that I really wanted to take my clothes off with at the moment, but never once did sexy enter my mind during that ordeal. And if there -had- been someone cute around, I think the shear panic of having hosed myself down with a powerful carcinogen would have pretty much killed the moment.
