The Dying Swan

The extraordinary feat of anthropomorphic drama performed by a perfectly healthy teenager desperate to avoid school.

The teenager croaks, whines, whines and may even flutter non-existent wings before collapsing on the nearest couch.
They lie completely limp and keep speaking to a minimum, but may make a soft cooing noise. They do their utmost to show their mother, by means of wincing and gasping, the sheer scale of the physical agony they are bravely enduring. Experienced swans may even manage to squeeze out a tear, or look pale and vomit on demand.
Me: Is Katherine going in today?
Mum: No. She's very ill. Very ill indeed. She's got a very high temperature and looks just awful.
Me: What?! It's just the dying swan act! I saw her put the thermometer in the microwave when you went to get dressed!

First catch of the day 

The first pee in the morning. The first morning urine.
Pathologist: When was the last time you went to the toilet?
Me: At 6:00 this morning.
Pathologist: Your doctor ordered a urine test. Didn't he tell you not to empty your bladder for 2 hours prior to the test?
Me: Hmm I think he did ... but I forgot.
Pathologist: You can wait for another hour to empty your bladder or you can come back tomorrow morning?
Me: I'll come back tomorrow
Pathologist: We're open at 7:00 a.m. "First catch of the day" is always the best.... so take this vial home to use and just put it in the fridge if you can't come in straight away to drop it off.
