“The problem with the gene pool is, that there is no life guard.”

“Gene police! You! Out of the pool, now!”

“Let's face it, the gene pool needs a little chlorine.”

“What would happen if the autism gene was eliminated from the gene pool?You would have a bunch of people standing around in a cave, chatting and socializing and not getting anything done.”

They spindle themselves around shared experiences and affections rather than splashing in the shared gene pool.”
