I want to do a genetic test with the company 23andme. The problems is that I only have 4 friends, where can I find 19 other people so I'll have enough persons to do the test?

You don't need friends for this; all you need are 22 one-night stands.

Don't forget to take the swabs and test tubes with you.

Get one person and have them change their name to 23

Take a selection of hats along and each of you can pretend to be several people.

Wouldn't you need hats for the individual strands of genetic material?
That could be a powerful lot o' hats, there.

I think the test company gives you a little plastic cup for that.

You can find them at the local orgy.

It’s actually 23 of anything, which is how I discovered I’m closely related to elm trees.
