  • The narrator is abducted by aliens who are conducting an intergalactic census on intelligent life.
  • The aliens explain they are interviewing humans in the order of importance as determined by a random person they previously abducted, who named Jesus as the most important person.
  • The narrator is interviewed about human timekeeping, explaining concepts like hours, minutes, seconds, days, and years, including the complexities of leap years and the Gregorian calendar.
  • The discussion covers time zones, UTC, and daylight savings time, highlighting the arbitrary and sometimes confusing nature of human time measurement systems.
  • The aliens conclude that human timekeeping is 'adequately advanced' but 'mathematically masochistic,' and the narrator is beamed back to Earth.
