One scientist was examining a jar and thought it's contents were important. It looked like a squid-like creature with legs instead of tentacles. He asked another scientist to look at it but the second scientist requested that the first bring the specimen to him, the first got angry for a bit and then complied.
The second scientist said that they needed more proof, and that the legs could have simply been sewed on, but the first disagreed and got a bit angry again. The second scientist wanted to open the container to look more closely at it, so that they might be certain, but the first didn't want to disturb the specimen.
