[*There is a building with a sign saying "Shonky Joe's Ultrasound Shack". Inside Joe is applying an ultrasound wand to the top part of Paul's back. He announces "Paul, you're pregnant". Paul turns around to Joe and says gently "I think you need more training Joe." Joe replies "I think you need more trust in science".*]

[*It's 8:00am and Vijay the DJ has started his talkback shift on radio. He says "G'day, you're with Vijay the DJ what do you want to say today?" Through the speaker we hear the caller say "I'm very concerned". "About what?", says Vijay. "Something important" is the reply."Yes..?" prompts Vijay noting it's now 08:03.The caller replies "It concerns me greatly and needs to be addressed". "What is it?", says Vijay. "... people taking too long to make a point." Vijay holds his and looks down in exasperation and weariness. It's 08:07am*]

[*Joe and Paul are waiting in line at the airport and the speaker above their head announces "This is a final boarding call". Joe looks up from his phone and asks Paul "Was that 'final' or 'primal'?" The speaker then emits a sudden "YEAAAAGHHHH!!!" frightening Joe and Paul. Joe throws his phone in the air and Paul's beanie flies off his head with shock. Joe says "Never mind" and they go back to waiting.*]

[*Professor Kettle in his hot rod barbecue zooms by Joe and Paul and says "When you have a new business idea test it small first". Joe ponders out loud "Hmm, test it small ...". As he zooms out of the frame Professor Kettle says "Marketing and production, NOT putting yourself in a shrink ray machine Joe!". Joe looks straight at Paul and says "I totally wasn't thinking that". Paul thinks to himself "You were totally thinking that."*]
