Wow!! Cheers for the kind comments, everyone, and especially to Paul (the Finder), and to James, John L, and Glad (the generous Super-voters) as well as Vincent for his early praise. So many great captions this past month! I feel sorry to have pip... --Crunchy Chords
Challenge accepted, Julia.🎵 “It's not entirely my faultMy songs sound like gargled phlegmI'm trying to sing from music notesThat have a backward stem." 🎵Anyone else want to have a go? --Crunchy Chords
I was too slow putting on my Poppins caption but I think yours could stay considering how obvious Poppins is and your caption was great. --Stephen Bean
Pfft.. only shades I could get. Can't be cool, with all these flower-power hippy types. As a seedling, I dreamed of heading a gang of opium poppies. --Mauris Iocus
Cheers, James, I almost didn't post the caption for precisely that reason! But then I realised, comedy doesn't always need to make scientific sense! So I incorporated the impossibility of it into the co-worker's questions. I'm glad it made you smile. (As for 'got' vs 'gotten', I enjoy hearing all the different ways that we use English. Go Kiwis!)
I have to admit, I wouldn't have gotten the joke in the first place without the back and forth from you guys. Must be a sign of getting old. Thanks James, Mr. Dome et al. By the way, I didn't see "gotten" in the caption. Did you misspell it caption author?

The paleobiologists objected to the field team's late-night, beer-fueled fossil reconstruction parties after returning from a dig, partly because it was a debasement of science, but mostly because they didn't get invited to those sorts of parties. [Crunchy Chords]
Indeed, Molly! Nod to the finite improbability generators and the hostess's undergarments.
