Two scientists are talking in a lab, with a cage full of mice off to the left. One of the scientists is dressed like a rat.
The scientist is wearing a rat costume instead of a lab coat.
Why is he dressed like that?
First you must gain their trust.

A lab scientist usually sees them as separate from their test subjects, especially when the subjects are mice. The funny part here is that the scientist dressed in the mouse outfit is trying to relate to their subjects (i.e., the mice in the cages) emotionally (i.e., by gaining their trust). It's funny to think of the type of experiment wherein the mice's trust would be required, because experiments with mice usually involve only testing medications, etc.
