And that’s why you always ask for a full glass instead.
You pick up the glass and lift it to your lips. It feels strangely heavy. You realise it is a solid lump of glass that merely resembles a drinking vessel.
The waiter laughs good naturedly and gives you your real drink.
I suppose this bar might be called Djinn and Tonic.
I was a little disappointed how little happens. Anybody still remember the baseball at the speed of light?
There's way more energy on that baseball than on the half-empty glass.
