Brain Bot

The management at Think-A-Holic Lounge recently installed a new game (see pic) in light of the new gaming and gambling craze that has swept through the entire galaxy in the past few years. Angus, the Lounge's big-ass ghost bartender, told me that the game, called Brain Bot, was for amusement purposes only.

I discretely watched from the sidelines one night as Lounge patrons slid coins into the odd-looking contraption and then asked it various questions. Brain Bot seemed to know the answer to everything in the universe and quickly became a local hit with the regular weekend crowd.

Not wanting to be a party pooper, I finally decided to give ol' Brain Bot a try. Just before last call I dropped in a Solar Silver Dollar and asked it the first question that came to mind.

"Will I ever become a rich and famous author," I asked Brain Bot, "who is widely respected for his work?"

A small crowd had gathered around while Brain Bot whizzed and whirred, searching its nano-brain for the precise answer. Even Angus McCloud, the big-ass head bartender, waited in eager anticipation. After a couple of seconds the new, state-of-the-art, hi-end, "for-amusement-only" game bot replied.

"Yo no hablo Español," it replied.

While the laughing crowd dispersed and Angus tried in vain to suppress a chuckle, I quickly ordered a double shot of think-a-hol and a bubby chaser. To go.
