“Hey man, our Trivial Genome Pursuit results came back.”

“How incredibly convoluted. But cool!”

“So yeah, want to ask me some questions from my results?”

“Sure. What digestive intolerance do you share with the majority of the world’s population?”

“Umm. Lactose intolerance?”

“Wait. What?”

“Yeah it’s a tough one. I’ll repeat it. Your rare genetic defect will render you a nerveless pile of flesh in how many years? 5, 10, or 40?”

“Oh my god.”

“I have my guess, but I’m not 100% sure I’m right.”

“…40 years?”

“Nope. I was totally right! It’s five years! Hey, don’t be so glum buddy, you’ll get the next one.”
