No no no, it goes like this:

An atom walks in to the bar, and appears pretty depressed. The bartender, picking up on this, starts shooting the breeze with the atom to find out what's up:

Bartender: You look down, what's the problem bub?
Atom: Well, it's been a rough day, on top of everything else, I've lot an electron.
Bartender: Really? Are you sure?
Atom: I'm positive.

Thank you, I'll be here all week folks.:D

Saw an ion in a parking lot the other day, thought it looked pretty cool.






















Then I saw the Saturn Ion...
