A student stands across a desk from his professor, who sits before a chalkboard. The student asks, 'Professor, before we start, do you believe in testing on animals for non-medical applications?' The professor replies, 'Absolutely not. Why?' The caption reads: 'I managed to get exempted from my bio-ethics exam.' The joke: the student got out of taking his exam by appealing to the professor's stated ethics against non-medical testing. The votey shows a close-up of the student's sly smiling face saying, 'The "F" is for fairness.' and, more quietly, 'And failure.' implying he'll receive a failing grade but considers it fair.
