the dick test

i just came across this in the 1954 edition of the world book encyclopedia:

The Dick Test: a laboratory test designed to indicate whether or not a person is immune to scarlet fever.

imagined scene:

MY DOCTOR: you have failed the dick test
RAYNOR: righteous!
MY DOCTOR: so you probably have scarlet fever.
RAYNOR: whatevs.
