Scene: Post-NOVA watching, pre-teeth-brushing snack time. The anthropologist has annoyed the United States mason by making the mason and a gang of Egyptian stone masons construct a small pyramid using only mud ramps and stick levers.
A (finishing his snack): What are you going to read to me tonight?
J (walking near the bookshelf): I don't know... (various inappropriate titles flash through his mind) maybe...
A: "Butt-cracks of the Ancient Past!"
J: (turning and failing to keep a straight face) Um...
A: (laughing too hard to use a serious-dramatic documentary voice) "Butt-cracks of the Ancient Past!"
J: (like a laughing Centurion from Life of Brian): N-no.
