Gene Joke
by Dr. Hsien-Hsien Lei
Posted December 31, 2007 in DNA Fun
Have a laugh before 2007 comes to an end!
Man goes to the doctor
Can you help me, I have a hereditary disease?
What disease is that?
Diarrhea.
That’s not a hereditary disease!
It is when it’s in your genes.
This joke courtesy of reader Snowy. What? You didn’t think *I* could have come up with that all on my own, did you?
Happy New Year!!
