Flash Sex Story: Defining the second... Illustrated

Background:
The other day in my SOL Blog I asked readers to come up with a better definition of a second than equal to the time duration of 9 192 631 770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the fundamental unperturbed ground-state of the caesium-133 atom.

Blog Entry:
We’ve all heard of a New York minute, but what about a Mars second?
I ask because at Desdmona’s FishTank someone mentioned the recent landing of a spaceship on Mars, and someone else remarked:
And now NASA has flown its helicopter - “a Wright Brothers moment” on another planet. NASA’s flight lasted 39.1 seconds - as long as the Wright Brother’s first three flights combined.
So I asked if a Mars second was the same as an earth second.
I got this reply:
No. It was 1/86400 of the solar day, but apparently that kept changing, so the powers that be adopted the following:
The second is defined as being equal to the time duration of 9 192 631 770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the fundamental unperturbed ground-state of the caesium-133 atom.
I suppose that’s clear enough. But is there casesium on Mars. And if not, does time stand still there?
In any event, I think we could use a more practical definition of a second. For instance: the time it takes Winnie, down at Red’s, to deflect a conventioneer’s straying hand from her scantily clad ass.

The Big Tipper
It was past closing at Red’s Diner, but one customer remained. “Don’t worry, I’ll take care of him,” waitress Winnie told what was left of the late-night staff. “Go home, I’ll clean up and close up.”
“Ha,” waitress Bev said with a smirk. “I hope that guy gives you a really big tip.”
Once they’d departed, Winnie locked the doors, pulled the blinds, and asked the customer if he was ready to go.
