The last thing that made you laugh

A mnemonic quoted by Stephen Jay Gould for remembering the names of (in order) Geological eras, periods, and epochs. This mnemonic is in the form of a poem reviewing a porno called Cheap Meat (don't worry; even though it's technically adult humor, it is still safe for work because it's seriously freakin dry)

Cheap Meat performs passably
Quenching the celibate's jejune thirst
Portraiture, presented massably
Drowning sorrow, oneness cursed.

Rare pornography, purchased meekly
O Erogeny, Paleobscene

That's Cenozoic, Mesozoic, Paleozoic, precambrian
Quaternary, Tertiary, Cretaceous, Jurassic, Triassic
Permian, Pennsylvanian, Mississippian
Devonian, Silurian, Ordovician, Cambrian

Recent (aka Holocene), pleistocene, pliocene, miocene
Oligocene, Eocene, Paleocene

Obviously it's a bit out of date; it's the winner of a contest Gould held during the seventies, so things like the Vendian or the Hadean are missing. But it's still pretty good if you ask me.
 
One of the universities in this fine country sent us a document indicating that a student was enrolled in Bachelor of Bachelor of Arts. What does one take in the B. B. A. program?

When I saw B.B.A, I honestly thought of Beyblade. :D
I never knew spinning top battles were a University course.

A co-worker told me it was so busy at work that she could not dip the underground fuel tanks outside.

I told her that if she tried, she would get run over by a vehicle coming in to gas up! She replied, "I probably would."

I then continued with the possible outcome of the same vehicle swerving to avoid her, with half the gas pumps lined up two to three vehicles each. She replied, "Probably!" and left with a smile.

A philosopher says to a linguist “What if, instead of periods, women had apostrophes?” The linguist replied, “They'd be more possessive and have more frequent contractions.”
