Wink Long Shot

Every Friday afternoon, a mathematician goes down to the bar,
sits in the second-to-last seat, turns to the last seat, which
is empty, and asks a girl who isn't there if he can buy her a
drink.

The bartender, who is used to weird university types, always
shrugs but keeps quiet. But when Valentine's Day arrives, and
the mathematician makes a particularly heart-wrenching plea into
empty space, curiosity gets the better of the bartender, and he
says,
"I apologize for my stupid questions, but surely you know there
is NEVER a woman sitting in that last stool. Why do you persist
in asking out empty space?"

The mathematician replies,
"Well, according to quantum physics, empty space is never truly
empty. Virtual particles come into existence and vanish all the
time. You never know when the proper wave function will collapse
and a girl might suddenly appear there."

The bartender raises his eyebrows.
"Really? Interesting. But couldn't you just ask one of the girls
who comes here every Friday if you could buy HER a drink? Never
know --she might say yes."

The mathematician laughs.
"Yeah, right -- how likely is THAT to happen?"

Good one! I'll have to tell that one to some of my buddies who were math majors in college.

XDONBOARD is saying it should be 1.highlight, 2. right click. Not 1. right click, 2. hightlight.
