+So two hyperintelligent pandimensional beings \
+walk into a bar.  One turns to the other and says, \
+"Did you remember to check the end state \
+of that simulation we were running?"  The other \
+says, "No, I thought that you did?"  To which \
+the first replies, "Oh shit, we missed it.  \
+I suppose we must do all of this again.  Barkeep,
+
+two beers please."  The bartender nods in that way \
+that bartenders do, pours the two beers, \
+expertly, by the way, just so, and hands them \
+to the first hyperintelligent pandimensional being.  \
+The second one pulls a few singles out of his \
+wallet, places them on the bar, and the pair \
+turn around and begin walking toward a table \
+in the middle of the mostly-empty bar.  The bar- \
+tender picks up the money, fans it out, frowns, \
+and calls to his patrons' backs: "Hey, this \
+isn't enough!"  The two turn around simultan- \
+eously, with parity, and stare at him.  A beat.
+
+One of them, the one without the beer, breaks \
+the silence by exclaiming, "Oh dear god, I'm \
+sorry!  I didn't know your prices went up since \
+last time.  What do I owe you?"  The bartender \
+says, "Oh, just another dollar-fifty."  The being \
+reaches in his back pocket, slides out his \
+wallet, looks in smiling, and frowns when he sees \
+it's empty.  He looks to the other and says, \
+"You got a buck-fifty I can borrow?"
+
+The second hyperintelligent pandimensional being \
+considers this.  He sets the beers down \
+on the table, pulls out his own wallet, opens \
+it, and frowns.  "I'm broke too," he says.
