I have OCD, wonder if they could use me? :-)

My DNA test might freak them out though...maybe if I studied really hard for it.....

Psychiatrist: You have multiple personality disorder. That’ll be $100.

Patient: Here’s $20. That covers my share.

I love Dr jokes.

Here’s an oldie but goody.

Doctor examines a mans wife and talks to him after.

Dr: Your wife has acute angina.

Husband: Yeah, it is cute ain’t it.

I wonder if they can figure out that Bruce Jenner is still a man? You know, XY and all that....can they check chromosomes?

Talk about some crazy science!!

Wondered that sort of thing myself. If they identify someone as an M or an F do they get howls from the leftists unless they add “Your mileage may vary”?

I'm sure he's very proud of the work he's accomplished:

seems to me to be an interesting way to get an all volunteer genetic database. Wonder when the collection will become mandatory.

I’m guessing right after the Rapture.

Wait, I’ve been told again I don’t believe in that.....

j/k

I cannot believe people are falling for this thing. Then again, I can’t believe people voted for Obama. Not once, bad enough but to do it AGAIN. SMH

The same thing crossed my mind.

Mandatory? Never...partly because of cost ($150 or more).

I would suggest that if more people did the test and the database were open to lab folks to invite particular groups...you might have more designer drugs which work more effectively.

Overseas, 23andMe isn’t getting hyped and probably a decade away from helping on ancestor type searches.

Pick a Democrat, any Democrat, and you’ve got a good candidate to study.

Then file their brains away under A. B. Normal.
