There is a rat and a pigeon standing next to each other on the edge of the rooftop of a high rise building. The pigeon is looking towards the rat who is talking. The rat has its arms spread which are attached to two makeshift artificial wings.
It is unusual for a rat to have homemade artificial wings. It's also unusual for a rat to want to fly.
Why does the rat have artificial wings? What is the rat saying to the pigeon?
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.
