Apparently bored by my discussion about antepartum risk screening (the result being reviewed estimated that the risk of Downs Syndrome was 1:35 so not a trivial discussion), a father-to-be said, "Doctor, can I ask you a question?"
"Sure," I answered.
"Are you a mulatto?"
"Must be; my hair's from Bathsheba, eyes from Thor and my deviated septum from Genghis Khan. It's my genetic diversity that promises a long, healthy life."
[the question was real, the answer sadly, was really something along the line of, "Must be, if you go back far enough..."]
