The near future
A
man walked into a very high-tech bar. As he sat down on a stool he noticed that
the bartender was a robot. The robot clicked to attention and asked,
“Sir,
what will you have?”
The
man thought a moment then replied? “A martini please.”
The
robot clicked a couple of times and mixed the best martini the man had ever
had.
The
robot then asked, “Sir, what is your IQ?” The man answered “Oh, about 164.”
The
robot then proceeded to discuss the theory of relativity, inter-stellar space
travel, the latest medical breakthroughs, etc…
The
man was most impressed. He left the bar but thought he would try a different
tack. He returned and took a seat.
Again
the robot clicked and asked what he would have? “A rum and coke please.”
Again
it was superb. The robot again asked “What is your IQ sir?”
This
time the man answered, “Oh about 100”. So the robot started discussing NASCAR
racing, the latest basketball scores, and what to expect the Dodgers to do this
week end.
The
guy had to try it one more time. So he left, returned and took a stool....
ordered a beer, and the question, “What is your IQ?” This time the man drawled
out “Uh..... bout 50”.
The
robot clicked then leaned close and very slowly asked,
“A-r-e…
y-o-u-r…
p-e-o-p-l-e…
g-o-i-n-g…
t-o…
n-o-m-i-n-a-t-e…
H-i-l-l-a-r-y ?”
