ON this date in 0141 - The 6th recorded perihelion passage of Halley's Comet took place.

Seeing this, shepherds Bun Man and Mr. Purple are enraptured by the comet's tail.

Mr. P turns to Bun and says, "That's a helluva perihelion passage!"

Whereupon Bun replies "What the hell's a perihelion?" and P responds "Not sure, but I think I had one when I was having trouble w/ my bowel movements a while back..."

Bun said "No kidding, I would have thought it would have been more celestial..."
