My dear Watson....

Class: Medical Imaging
Scene: The professor has displayed X-Ray of a human hand, and asks a student ([un]fortunately an engineer) what can she see in that hand.

She goes on to describe that it is human hand. Then she tells that she can see some lesions etc etc. We all have a very shrewd idea that the prof is waiting for her to say something very important. After her monologue goes on for about 10 sentences, the professor asks, "OK, and do you see anything else?" We all hold our breaths... She doesn't have anything more to say.

Prof: OK, you have covered almost everything except one small thing... the person has his thumb missing.

Love theatre has never known a louder laughter in any class.

Does this remind you of Sherlock Holmes' camping trip?
