Oh, crap, this looks really bad. *Zooms in* Oh jeez, these look like... these really look like lymphocytes (white blood cells). *zooms in again* Oh, these look like really angry lymphocytes. I think this is lymphoma (cancer of white blood cells). This looks so bad. Crap, crap, these poor people, they love their cat so much, but they won't be able to afford chemo. *scans around to make sure*. Cancer, cancer, angry nasty cancer. So many lymphocytes, with lots of signs of malignancy and.. oh, hey, look, that pattern in the blood! It looks exactly like a panda face! It's smiling! Awwww!!! I need to take a picture of this. *click* Oh, and a few more. It's so happy, hee hee! I wants to hug it! *click click*. *click* So cute! And....Um. What? Okay. Right. Cancer. Angry, nasty, bad cancer. Crap.
