[A pause. Then, conversationally:]

Had a case once, serial killer. Removed the eyes of each of his victims, trophies, very standard, bit dull. There had been three victims already by the time I was called in on the case.

Knowledge from my past experiments enabled me to deduce height, build, gouging implement of choice, career history, mental state, and handedness. Information I collected in seconds that the police would have taken days to collect, if ever.

He was caught the next afternoon.

[Another pause, for effect.]

So, yes. I do.
