Neuro = last rotation = yay
Nick Jefferey, trying to get his dog to lie down for a neurological exam
(imagine all patiently said with the same intonation):
"Fred, down." [dog does nothing]
"Fred, down." [dog does nothing]
"Fred, down." [dog does nothing]
"Fred, down." [dog does nothing]
"Fred, down." [dog does nothing]
"Fred, down." [dog does nothing]
"Fred, down." [dog does nothing]
[he lifts Fred and forcefully lays the dog down on his side]
"Good boy, Fred!"

After being offered the chance to test tendon reflexes with a patella hammer:
Greg: "Nah, I've tapped a fair few dogs in my time. [pause] Ohhhh... that sounded terrible."
