...254 years would pass before the eighth billion human make the leap.

    If you had "oh, the humanity!" lined up by age, oldest to jump first, one would have to consider the possibility that the line would never reach its end!  I believe this partially explains why *fecund* is one of my most favorite words ever!  I give us a lot of credit!!  It's like we don't know to give up!!

    If I were invested (along with The Cat) in a pan-Galactic slavery organization, I'd have our harvesting ships visit the Earth once every decade to reap a hundred million in-their-prime humans; talk about low investment, high returns!!

    This brings me to the RfM point of this post:  will the Church of Jesus Christmas of Laundry-day Saints survive contact with emissaries from the Sultan of Betelguese, when they arrive on Earth to barter for used, but still in good shape, humans?

The church might be okay if the emissaries are looking for virgins. Not great, but okay. If not getting laid gets you a free trip to Kolob, that's not a bad deal.

You didn't take into consideration who might survive.

Also, the last one would have to be a descendent of an earlier jumper so obviously the calculation would have changed.

That one human must really be hurting.

It's the climb back up that's the real drag!!!

Humans are far more efficient than that, elderly canine. They tend to jump off cliffs in large numbers at the same time.

And whenever that happens, the sharks throw a party.

Brothers and Sisters we're looking for volunteers to help clean at the bottom of the cliff. Will you sign up to help this Saturday morning?

Next time I come from outer space, you'll know it's me!

I will greet you with "Elder Old Dog! You're a jerk, a complete kneebiter."

Might be a while, depending on where "Jesus" falls in my current iteration of insulting the universe in alphabetical order.

I guess "Gladys" will meet me first

Yeah, that's too much information. You two should get a room.

Are there enough cliffs?

It sounds like we'd better get started.

How about if we up that to 10 a second. Or, better a hundred. A thousand?

And---I want to be on the committee to decide who goes first. Yea, even the chairman. I already have a partial list drawn up.

All "Previously Owned" humans, AKA ExMos, will get a pass.

"Previously owned humans."

Love it.

Do you sell Nike shoes? We might need official comet shoes for our jump.

How about we all get matching pogo sticks?

I don't have that long [to fall]...
I'm still climbing!
