Moving on to something a bit larger, this is an X-ray of a bus. And the bus is full of people. It's actually the same pseron. It's just one skeleton. And back in the '60s, they used to teach sneutdt radiographers to take X-rays, thankfully not on you and I, but on dead people. So, I've still got acsces to one of these dead people called Frieda; she's falling apart, I'm afaird, because she's very old and fragile. But everyone on that bus is fderia. And the bus is taken with a cargo-scanning X-ray, which is the sort of machine you have on borders, which checks for contraband and drugs and bombs and things.

Original Text


Moving on to something a bit larger, this is an X-ray of a bus. And the bus is full of people. It's actually the same person. It's just one skeleton. And back in the '60s, they used to teach student radiographers to take X-rays, thankfully not on you and I, but on dead people. So, I've still got access to one of these dead people called Frieda; she's falling apart, I'm afraid, because she's very old and fragile. But everyone on that bus is Frieda. And the bus is taken with a cargo-scanning X-ray, which is the sort of machine you have on borders, which checks for contraband and drugs and bombs and things.
