Sometimes you trip over a story, and it just screams out to get a joke written about it.
Like this one:
Prehistoric fish pioneered sex
Sex has been a fact of life for at least 380 million years, longer than previously thought. Internal fertilization was widespread among prehistoric fish living on ancient tropical coral reefs in the Devonian period, research published in the journal Nature on Wednesday showed.
So, if I was Conan O'Lenoman, I think I might use this:
Scientists today announced that all jawed vertebrates had sex much earlier
than previously believed. That's right, it was 380 million years ago that
animals with mouths were having sex. They found the key piece of evidence in
the back of Larry King's dressing room.
