'I pledge allegiance to the atom, and to the periodic table on which it stands, many particles indivisible, with orbitals and electrons for all.'

Micro Psychiatry Clinic. You have a full schedule today, Doctor. The helium atom will be here to work on his fear of heights. The white blood cell with a germ phobia and amoeba with separation anxiety are coming in. The DNA molecule will be here about an identity crisis. And here, in the sports car, comes a new patient, a carbon-14 isotope. Ah, looks like he's going through a half-life crisis!

The loneliness of the particle physicist...'Everyone's interested in things that are much, much larger.'

Quantum Mechanics Mechanics working on Atoms

The curse of Alzheimer's hits home for old aluminium atoms.

'Hot enough for ya?'

"Because of the war can we split this?"

Two particles outside Hadron Collider; 'Fancy getting smashed this evening?'

Compound Interest

Our shock absorbers give such a smooth ride that the professor here will try to split an atom in the back of a moving pick up truck.

'What's the matter with your cyclotron?'

Joe's Bar: "Forget Her" Hour, 5-8.

Mover Carrying Furniture to Trucks Saying "His" and "Hers"

'...Okay...so who had the thirteen bottles of Chardonnay?'

'. . . And Keith magically had to go to the bathroom right when the bill arrives. . . why do I always have to pay the lion's share?'
