A typical MSN conversation in the life of a vet student

Bailey says:
lol, I have learned a trick to make a sheep pee
Angela says:
tell us...
Bailey says:
well
generally, if it's lying down, make it get up
it will get away from you a bit, then stand and pee
OR
if it is standing, and this is the fun trick
you hold its nostrils closed
and it pees
Angela says:
no way
Bailey says:
apparently
Angela says:
i want to try it now
Bailey says:
I haven't had a chance to try it yet
I really want to
but I haven't had a justifiable reason yet
Angela says:
who needs a reason
Bailey says:
and I don't want a clinician to walk past me while I'm apparently suffocating a sheep and going "wtf are you doing child?"
and me going "I want to make it pee"
Angela says:
wait until they go for lunch
Bailey says:
you can never be sure, everyone has different lunch times around here
I think if I had a few rotation group mates with me the clinician might just shake their head and walk away
and be like "just don't bother the rest of the sheep then"
Angela says:
what kind of people are you hanging around with?

Under what circumstances did you learn this trick?

Why isn't this on the vet Quote Book? A guest appearance, no?

Richard - I thought it was more a story from my vetty life than a quotable soundbite - it's the whole idea rather than any well/poorly-chosen wording that makes it funny, so it didn't really feel like a quote.

Cez - I learned it from American vets on tinternets. Americans are always doing odd things.
