Not at all! Let's Muddy the Waters, while we're at it:

    Now all you pretty women
    Stand in a line
    I'll make love to you, baby
    In five minutes' time

    But if y'all line up
    In Three Thousand A.D.
    The number of minutes, darlin'
    Will be five-point-seven-oh-three

    Ain't that a man?
    (Natural-born Spaciotemporal man!)
