A couple years ago I was having some dental work done, at a dental school (much cheaper). I had a regular student dentist, but occasionally I got seen by faculty members. Before starting they'd ask "Are you taking any drugs? Any medications?", questions of that nature. But if you've been coming there for a while, they figure you know the drill and shorten it up a bit.
One day I was being treated by a faculty member I hadn't seen before. He leaned over, looked me in the eye, and said, "Before we get started, is there anything I should know?" I immediately flashed back to "Is there anything I have failed to find out about you?" and "Is there something I should know about you that I don't?" I'm sure if I was on the meter he'd have got a blowdown.
