A seven-panel comic argument between a gray-mustached man in a brown jacket and a red-haired man in glasses and a green shirt. The mustached man claims the existence of "irrational" numbers proves the universe itself is irrational. The red-haired man explains it's just a naming convention meaning you can't make the number into a ratio. The mustached man snarks, "My my... how irrational that you can't do that." The red-haired man counters: if the Greeks had named them "boobs numbers," then by that logic the universe would be boobs. The mustached man flatly replies, "That is correct." The red-haired man scowls in fury, then in the final panel stands at night shaking his fist and holding a torch while a building labeled "Museum of Greek History" burns behind him, shouting "Bastards!" Votey: a tired figure at a desk says "Well, for once it's not a dick joke," and an off-panel voice yells "Boobies!"
