Doctor, Doctor, I discovered one of the base pairs in my genetic code is erroneously a stop codon?
Nonsense! That shouldn't be happening!

Alright listen up, buttercup. So, like, your DNA is made up of base pairs, right? And sometimes there's a "stop codon" that tells your body to stop making proteins. This dude is saying his DNA is messed up and has a premature stop codon which, if real, would be bad. The doctor is basically saying "nah, that can't be right". It's funny because it's a ridiculous situation and highlights the doctor's disbelief or maybe even incompetence.
