A rat and a pigeon are on a roof in a city. The rate has wings strapped to him.
A rat with fake wings is pretty out of place.
Why is the rat trying to fly?
Believe me, I've tested a lot worse things when I was in pharmaceuticals.

A rat testing a pair of synthetic wings is unlikely to enable him to fly: he probably will crash to the ground and become injured. But his response to the worried pigeon is that the prior testing he signed up to do, pharmaceutical drug testing, was more dangerous. Rats are often really test subjects for real-world drugs as part of early trials, and so while this situation is surreal, his past does seem plausible: experimental drugs might be more dangerous than jumping off a building.
