When it was only 6 months ago I was studying the circulatory system, this is the kind of crap that comes to mind. I know it's only a part of a joke, but just to be specific, arteries are more of a worry when it comes to high blood pressure than veins. And often times it's the arteries themselves that cause the high blood pressure because they start to harden and lose their elasticity. I know, I'm a nerd, the curse of a science major.
