And sometimes, asking is just a pretext...

...for trying on a lab coat and taking the pulse of some unfortunate bloke's cranium!

I met my friend at his hospital last night, where he's studying dental surgery. It was raining all weekend and the place was deserted, so he had time to give me a tour. And when I saw the lab coats in the residents' lounge, I couldn't resist.

Cranium's diagnosis: Death.

And mine? Acute Askeritis.
