I would be a natural killer cell. They are a distinct class of lymphocyte that function like cytotoxic T-cells, except they don't even have to mature in the thymus like all of the other pathetic T-cells. They just jump straight into the circulation and start killing tumor cells and virus-infected cells that are coated with antibodies. I'd probably yell, "CELL ya later!" while I did it. What? I can't help it that I'm hilarious.
Hey, at least I don't have to resort to tickling to make others laugh. That's right, I'm looking at you, Pancreas.*
*The tail of the pancreas "tickles" the spleen.
