Fertility studies

"You want to have children in the future?!" Dr. F asked.

A pregnant (hur hur) pause. It caught me by surprise; I didn't realise that he actually wanted the question answered until I stared into his *expectant face for about 20 seconds.

"Erm... yes?" I replied apprehensively, wondering if this was some trick question.

"Mmm, good," he flashed me a satisfied grin.

We had to get Dr. F's approval for safety clearance to work in the lab. This, by the way, was his way of telling me that n-hexane causes infertility. Is it just me, or do people have strange ways of conveying simple things?

All ended well, though. He signed the forms so I no longer have to work illegally in the lab.


*All puns brought to you by the Number "4" and the Letter "C" (if you get this, you get a star).
