Nostalgia and Melancholy were sitting in a bar ruminating over a couple of mugs of beer when a very attractive brunette sidled up to them asking for a light.
A flash lit the room as they both ignited then vanished.
“Thanks” she said.
Reflection, sitting alone in a corner sipping brandy smiled whimsically; at least until the brunette headed his way.
Whimsy, watched for a moment, then fled.

Rene Descarte was sitting at a cafe in Paris, and he finished drinking a glass of wine. The waiter came over to his table and asked “would you like another glass of wine?” Descarte thought for a couple seconds and replied “I think not.” And he disappeared.
