How many drinks do you have to take before you get to the end of that song?
Well, it depends on how knowledgeable you are in particle physics. Let's see, going down: hole, log, branch, twig, frog, wart, hair, amoeba, molecule, atom, proton, quark ... etc, etc, etc ...
It's not so much that it's longer, but, by the time you get down to the atom, after all of the drinks that you have taken, it's kind of hard to remember the pattern ... and then, again, you really don't care ...
