Bar Fight

[JohnB]

It started as a quiet evening in the SFN bar. JohnB and Tetrahedrite had been sharing a few rum and cokes while enjoying a companionable silence. Glider was in the far corner finishing off his thesis on "Insanity in The Scientific Community Online". Snail had obviously got in a while before we had, the trails were getting decidedly unsteady. Most of the usual crowd were here and we knew Pangloss was due soon by the large number of seagulls wandering about.

JohnB was pondering his future as a professional exhibitionist while Tetra was suffering a crisis of conscience. Should he reveal the existence of the 50 kilo nugget of a new and totally unknown mineral combination of gold and beryllium to the world, or melt it down, take the money and run?

Bascule wandered past muttering "meme, meme, meme" under his breath. "He's got Hawkins on the brain." I commented.

"No" said Tetra, "There's a kareoke competition later and he's just clearing his throat."

We ordered another round and spoke to a passing polar bear for a while. (aussie joke.)

"IMM is in a good mood tonight." said Tetra.

"How so?" I asked.

"That guy talking to her is a creationist. He's been trying to convert her for 10 minutes now."

"And he's still conscious?"

As I watched, IMM, obviously bored with the man's illogical stance, stretched out her leg and planted her 4 inch stilleto heel into his solar plexus. He folded with a quiet sigh to join the seven other creationists unconscious at her feet. "Oops, spoke too soon."

"Yes, it's upsetting the three Sayonaras, they haven't been able to beat her to punch yet with one of those guys."

Revprez (sorry mate, but somebody has to start the blue.) looks across at Bascule and says "Hey, are you looking at meme?" He rises from the bar and attempts to cross to where Bascule is standing. Slipping on a snail trail he falls to the floor and measures his length. Unfortunately he falls so quickly that due to relativistic dilation he finds he's now two inches shorter. (And has gained 50 pounds.)

While attempting to rise he pulls over the nearest table and.......

 

How does it develop?

Didn't you mean pink polar bear? (another aussie joke)
