How it happened

 

Many years ago, before milkshakes and burgers were invented, a huge asteroid hit the earth and killed all the dinosaurs. Why were they all standing in the same place? I ask. Was it a convention of some sort?

Anyway, the asteroid caused total devastation. There were fires and earthquakes all over the world. All vegetation was destroyed. Even those dinosaurs which did not attend the convention died of starvation because there was no food in the world. Even in the sea. All plankton was destroyed and all fishes died too.

For ten years there was a large cloud of sulphur which covered the earth and darkened the sun. It was permanently night-time. 

Eventually, the sulphur cloud turned to dust and ashes and settled on the earth. Slowly, the sun began to shine again and slower still a few shoots of vegetation began to appear here and there. And in time small animals like ferrets and reptiles began to appear.

WAIT A MINUTE !!! The problem with TV is that you cannot stop it and ask questions.

Where were those ferrets and reptiles for all these years? In well built fall-out shelters feasting on milkshakes and burgers? And where did zebras, and dogs and cauliflowers eventually come from? Were they in bunkers too? How about humans? If all the cavemen and women perished when the asteroid hit, and all that remained was their paintings on cave walls, how did they re-emerge again?

I think those people who make TV programs should consider the questions the viewers might have in mind.
