Alright, for eons, you’ve got your Hadean, Archean, Proterzoic, and Phanerozic…
Wait, what?
Come on, man, keep up!
Okay, wait, Hadean? Can you spell that?
Get with it, man, H-a-d-e-a-n
(chink, chink, chink, chink)
I’m going to have to add an eon if you don’t speed up. Ready?
(chink, chink, chink, chink) okay
Alright, it gets really fun in the Cambrian period. Some of my best work. That’s part of the Paleozoic era. You with me?
(chink, chink, chink, chink) ouch!
(chuckle) The Cambrian, y’all are going to be trying to sort that one out for years… C’mon, man, we haven’t got all day…
(chink, chink, chink, chink) CRACK!
Again? Alright, get another one, I’ll wait….

Limerick: Once a mincing Mrs. from Mississippi
Once a mincing Mrs. from Mississippi*
Went to a bank for a fiddle-d-dee
But her girdle got stuck
And the “SS” came unstuck
That’s why Missis ends as a double P..
*No aspersions cast on Mississippians here;
the term refers to the Paleozoic era in North America,
following the Devonian and preceding the Pennsylvanian,
of course.
