# In my last job, I used to do some DNA
testing. Nothing sinister, just extracting DNA from samples colleagues donated, and having a look at how much dna there was. One particular test looked at the X and Y chromosome. I airbrushed out most of the Y-chromosone in one of my colleagues (male) dna pictures, and told him he was probably XXY. He did some research on it and found out that that it cause fertility problems and secondary sexual characteristics etc..

I didn't know he had been trying to have a baby with his wife for 7 years, before finally succeeding. He went home and asked his wife if they were really his kids and had a major doestic about it.

Sorry mate
