I just read this article on human-dolphin communication about how scientists are trying to figure out new methods of.....See? Half way through the article I started thinking about how dolphins who go to work with marine biologists probably are considered scientists of their species.

I promptly imagined a dolphin kissing his wife goodbye, lunch pail in flipper. She, with curlers stuck to her rubbery skin, nodding vigorously, telling her bestie at the other end of the whalphone "Yes, yes, he works down at the center trying to learn to communicate with humans."
"Humans, really? That's so interesting"
"Yes,He says that they have a very developed communication system amongst each other"
"Oh, really? In the air, you say?"
"Yes, indeed"

I can't get the image of a dolphin in a lab coat with a lunch pail out of my brain!
