Brief conversation

Background: For my PhD I am studying a plant toxin that causes something like Parkinsons, Alzheimers, and ALS. In our lab we inject the toxin into mice in the hopes to learn more about these diseases, especially what causes them.

Below is a conversation I had with my boss yesterday, regarding mice that were injected a week before:

>Me: "All but one of my mice died yesterday."

>Boss: "How was their motor-function?"

>Me: "Not too good, being that they were dead!"

Kinda humorous, and thought you might have a chuckle.
