Three exams down, two more to go!!! Then home, almost!
So yeah- things can get a little crazy when studying for vet exams (I was not part of this interaction, just borrowed it from a friend):
"Observe that the OCCIPITO-ATLANTAL JOINT permits movement of the head in a a vertical plane (shaking the head as if to say, "Yes, I did eat the cat!"). The ATLANTO-AXIAL JOINT permits movement in a horizontal plane (shaking the head as if to say, "No, I DID NOT urinate on the carpet")."
No cats were harmed. I think.
