Knowledge Pills

Posted on by — No Comments ↓

Circa 2062, mankind has advanced and found a way to package basic knowledge in pill form. 

Jim, a student, needing some learning, goes to the pharmacy and asks what kind of knowledge pills are available.

The pharmacist says: “Here’s a pill for English literature.” Jim takes the pill and swallows it and has new knowledge about English literature.

“What else do you have?” asks Jim.

“Well I have pills for art history, biology, and world history,” replies the pharmacist.

Jim asks for these, and swallows them and has new knowledge about those subjects.

Then Jim asks: “Do you have a pill for math?”

The pharmacist says, “Wait just a moment,” goes back to the storeroom, brings back a whopper of a pill, and plonks it on the counter.

“I have to take that huge pill for math?” inquires Jim.

The pharmacist replies, “Well you know math always was a little hard to swallow.”
