a bedtime tail for your kiddiewinks

Two individuals proceeded towards the apex of a natural geologic protuberance, the purpose of their expedition being the procurement of a sample of fluid hydride of oxygen in a large vessel, the exact size of which was unspecified. One member of the team precipitously descended, sustaining severe damage to the upper cranial portion of his anatomical structure; subsequently the second member of the team performed a self-rotational translation, oriented in the same direction taken by the first team member.

Am I missing something? I don't get it. I mean I understand what it means but I don't see the joke.

As you read the story, picture in you head what the words really mean and then you'll get it.

But what on earth is a "bedtime tail"... can tails grow on beds? And if not, can tails grow on time? Or how do you get a bedtime tail... and would elegant ladies want to wear it round their necks, maybe? I really am wondering here (and sorry, I haven't ever read the tale you are telling us... ooops, sorry )

Not really, I copied it from an e-mail I had as I was trying to sort out Outlook (which is still being an arse).

If it's got words with more than five letters and they're all speelled corectialy then it weren't me who rote it!

I wrote something very like this for an english paper a few months ago (not really a paper I guess; more like just an assignment). Except I re-wrote Humpty-Dumpty instead of Jack and Jill. But the same idea.
