Overhear something today!

In UW Hospital cafeteria -- a group of students discussing their classes:
FIRST STUDENT: "I was writing about streptocroccus .. "
THE OTHERS: "Streptocroccus!" (Laugh)
FIRST: "Yeah, streptocroccus! That's a crocodile with a fungal infection!"

ANOTHER STUDENT (arriving late): "Sorry I'm late, there was a blockage in the HIV lanes."
