13| So two hyperintelligent pandimensional beings
14| walk into a bar. One turns to the other and says,
15| "Did you remember to check the end state
16| of that simulation we were running?" The other
17| says, "No, I thought that you did?" To which
18| the first replies, "[Oh shit][], we missed it.
19| I suppose we must do all of this again. Barkeep,
20
21| two beers please." The bartender nods in that way
22| that bartenders do, pours the two beers,
23| expertly, by the way, just so, and hands them
24| to the first [hyperintelligent pandimensional][] being.
25| The second one pulls a few singles out of his
26| wallet, places them on the bar, and the pair
27| turn around and begin walking toward a table
28| in the middle of the mostly-empty bar. The bar-
29| tender picks up the money, fans it out, frowns,
30| and calls to his patrons' backs: "Hey, this
31| isn't enough!" The two turn around simultan-
32| eously, with parity, and stare at him. A beat.
33
34| One of them, the one without the beer, breaks
35| the silence by exclaiming, "Oh dear god, I'm
36| sorry! I didn't know your prices went up since
37| last time. What do I owe you?" The bartender
38| says, "Oh, just another [dollar][]-fifty." The being
39| reaches in his back pocket, slides out his
40| wallet, looks in smiling, and frowns when he sees
41| it's empty. He looks to the other and says,
42| "You got a [buck][]-fifty I can borrow?"
43
44| The second hyperintelligent pandimensional being
45| considers this. He sets the beers down
46| on the table, pulls out his own wallet, opens
47| it, and frowns. "I'm broke too," he says.
