Everyone needs good neighbours

A certain clinician happens to live next door to several members of our group. This has lead to some rather interesting exchanges.
(Disclaimer - loosely phrased because my memory isn't that great)

Greg: "We're having a Christmas party again this year. You know, the ones that go on Do you want to come?"
Clinician: "Have you got a date?"
Greg: (looks slightly flattered and possibly slightly flustered which is unusal) "Well no, I, er you?"
Rest of the room: "No Greg, the day. Which day?"
Clinician: "Sorry Greg, you are very handsome and have very nice arms but not handsome enough to tempt me to the dark side."


James had been having difficulty finding a paper on drugs used in the treatment of endotoxaemia. A paper was effortlessly found by the clinician in question.
Clinician: (sarcastically) "Would you like me to read it to you?"
Fellow student: "You could come round tonight and read it as a bedtime story!"
James: "You could read it over breakfast!"

(Everyone laughed at the prospect of it being a sleepover. The fellow student's name is omitted for posterity and also because I can't remember exactly who said it. Input appreciated)
