Not Exactly

(5)

I've decided to switch to Whiskey and leave the last half of my 12-pack for next Friday night. I have alloted myself one half-pint of whiskey. By the end of the evening I will be drunk as a skunk.

My interview with Lucifer continued for a while, and the discussion centered around my reluctance to believe that Heaven would not be a good idea. Near the end of the discussion Lucifer saw that I would need additional 'testimony' in that regard and offered to put me in touch with Einstein. I accepted immediately, of course, being a great admirer of Einstein.

(The problem with whiskey is that you tend to drink it way too fast. After only a few minutes I have finished my first glass of whiskey.)

After a short delay I was pleasantly surprised by Albert Einstein in the flesh (so to say).

einstein: Pleased to meet you. I've heard that you are interested in modern physics.
me: Pleased to meet you too. It's true that I have an interest in physics, but you were recommended by Lucifer as an advisor concerning the advisability of going to Heaven.
einstein: I understand.
me: So I ask you: is it advisable to go to Heaven?
einstein: Not exactly.
