| 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. | ||
