A man says to Thorax: "When this form asks for distinguishing traits, Mr. Thorax, we need you to list any marks, scars or physical irregularities... ...just for our records."

The man looks at the form. The man says: "Right...Now that you've got mine down, would you care to share a few of your own?"
