Scientific Humor

This is a dialogue that transcribed in a talk that I attended last week at work.

Questioner: How old are the thymuses that you are analyzing?

Presenter: They are neonatal thymuses.

Questioner: What does that mean?

Presenter: Well we get the thymuses from an abortion clinic.

Host of The Talk: So, they are VERY young!


Only a handful of people chuckled at that. I was among them.
