(jingle plays on TV)

This morning, we learned
that the only lady politician


was hit by a train.

The prime minister learned
of the news on live telecast.


Later, when asked to clarify
his response,


he told reporters,
"I did not chuckle.


I was choking on a pecan."

Tyrannosaurus rex,

best known
for his fearsome jaws


and appearances
on the silver screen,


may have had a gentle side
too.


The formidable predator may,
counter to popular belief,


in fact
have been a tender lover,


using his
extra-sensitive snout


to kiss his partner

and his seemingly useless
little arms


to tickle and caress her

in tender,
precopulatory play.


(exhales)

Archaeologists
all around the world


stumble upon skeletons
of these terrible lizards,


revealing heated
sexual positions


of passionate
prehistoric lovemaking.


Looking at some
of those fossils may suggest


these extraordinary creatures

knew about the deadly asteroid

that was on a collision course
with the Earth


and used their last moments

for some sweet, sweet
sexual intercourse.


(ribbits)

For millions of years,

these giants
dominated the seas,

swayed the skies,
and ruled the lands.

Females were ravenous
predators,

fueled by their powerful
instincts

to hunt and reproduce.

Those girls got
what they wanted.

These astounding beasts
came in all shapes and sizes.

They proudly presented
their sensual bodies,

covered in scales and feathers
like expensive jewelry.

Life on the harsh landscapes
of the Mesozoic era was tough,

but guess what.

So were these women.

The fire in their eyes
wasn't just a reflection

of the blazing rock
that lit up the night sky

before hitting the planet

and wiping out all of them
at once.

It was the flaring fire

of their inner powerful
sex appeal

that hypnotized
all who looked

into their seductive
lizard eyes.

These hunters
are capable of migrating

hundreds of miles
to harvest the right specimen

to fulfill
their sexual desires.

Their highly sensitive smell
and hearing serves

as some sort
of biological compass,

directing them
to the perfect mate.

When stalking,
females keep below the skyline,

running through
silky, warm summer nights,

searching for the heavy scent
of testosterone in the air.

Inevitably,
there will be a chase,

and pleasure will follow.

Wait.

Did I unplug my straightener?

Oh, God.

No, I did, 'cause when I left,
I took a step.

Then I walked back in.

I took a look in the kitchen
with the suspicion



that I left the oven on,
but I didn't.


Then I was like, "I'm here.

I might as well pee
for a minute."


And I vividly recall
the plug in the wall


had nothing in it.

(gasps)

Okay, yeah,
it had nothing in it.

Man, I gotta be more conscious
of that stuff.

My sh*t could burn down.
Then I'm f*cked.

Itch on my nose.
Nope.


Let it pass.

Hey, sweetie, it's Mom.

Forgot to call my mom back.

But what did she mean
when she said the other day

that at my age, she was married
with a kid on the way?

Oh, thanks, Mom,
that helps me a lot.

Here's a thought.
How 'bout I stop?

Lock a man down,
set a plan down,

and pop out a tot.

It's like I'm caught
in a spot

where I'm working on the grind,
the nine-to-nine,

climbing to find
and then redefining my reason

for being alive.

Jesus.

Realize that this time
of my life is hard on me,

so pardon me for disregarding
the timing of my ovaries

when I can barely figure out
a time to get my groceries.

Hey, sweetie.

Breathe.

Oh, I gotta get groceries.

(cash register beeping)

I might have a yogurt
in the fridge.

Itch--God damn it,

this itch on my nose
won't stop.

Nope.
Breathe through it.

If I go to scratch it,
I'll blow it. I'll ruin it.

It's just a fixation,
my imagination.

I gotta just wait
and be patient

and then the sensation
will pass.

Yes.

See?

That wasn't so--nope.
That's a bug.


That's a bug on my nose.

(sniffles)

(exhales)
Okay.

Okay, there was no bug.

Damn it.
I'm so off track.


I gotta relax.

I gotta get back
to the blank, white room.


No, the field in bloom.

No, forget it.
Just cut to black.


I could use a snack.
No.
