A man is sitting in an office on his computer. He's speaking with a rat man, who is at his computer.
The man behind the desk has a rat head.
Why does he have a rat head?
Don't worry. I wouldn't prescribe anything I haven't tested on myself.

A joke about the role of a rat in the scientific process. Usually, rats in labs are the subject of medical testing, e.g., for new medications, to make sure they are safe prior to human trials being conducted. Here, however, the doctor is a rat --- while doctors assure patients that treatments are safe, the scientist rat has literally tested the drug on themselves in its role as a test subject.
