So, um, he's a geneticist and he's turned Santa into a stingray?

I'm sorry, I'm thick. Humour's worst nightmare.

Not exactly Herr Thickenstein! I will supply the answer later if no one gets it. Which is entirely possible since it is a bit obscure even for me.

Ok, a single base substitution causes anomalies like Sickle cell Anemia because a change in one base pair results in a substituted amino acid at a critical location that alters the resultant protein configuration.

This bad pun is the result of a single letter substitution - an M for an S... Very bad, I know...
