Beer Shack Receives Shipment of Cosmic Enlightenment
L
ast Thursday Jimbo�s Beer Shack received a large shipment of Cosmic Enlightenment. "I told the FedEx man that I hadn�t ordered any such thing," said Jimbo, "but he said he was just the delivery guy and that I should contact the company, so I signed for it."Jimbo concluded that some mix-up had occurred and that he had received this instead of the 55,000 gallons of beer he had ordered. "I was all set the send this back and get my beer, when I decided to try a bit of it, just for fun," Jimbo said. He decided he liked it and then created a new drink containing 9% Cosmic Enlightenment. "The Beer Shack hasn�t been the same since," he said.
The conversations of Beer Shack customers sound to the casual observer like drunk talk, but now their chatter about the state of the universe and how time will end are truthful.
Jimbo himself sometimes has second thoughts about his new divine knowledge. "Sure, being omniscient is great," he said, "but sometimes I�d rather have 55,000 gallons of beer." Jimbo points out that there are many advantages to having Cosmic Enlightenment. "For instance," he said, "now when I call someone a moron, you can be sure that I mean it."
