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.
