Galaxic Hitchhikers Infinite Universe Store!

Postby Galaxic Hitchhikers » Sun Mar 13, 2011 10:02 am

The diversity of the universe is infinite. The definition of infinite is: "anything you can possibly think of and one more thing". And so it stands to reason that an infinite amount of people can obtain an infinite variety of objects from this infinite, or even an infinite number of them for an infinite amount of cash. Inversely, an infinite amount of space requires an infinite population to populate it, and so infinite divided by infinite equals one. Meaning in absolutely any finite given area in the universe, there is one inhabitant and one object.

But say! That one inhabitant can purchase that one object for only one NS dollar, and so perserve the nature of the universe from paradoxial harm!

That being said, the money-minded state of Galaxic Hitchhikers has opened a store to take advantage of the infinite nature of the universe. As our simple mathematical proof indicates, one person may at any one time buy one object for one NS dollar. Unfortunately, there is an improbabilty formula that indicates that our array of items will not be infinite. Indeed, it's highly probable that we can only offer our super-advanced-multi-headed-rotating-swivel-push-polisher toothbrush.

We would also say that we would offer this deal for an infinite time, but more concrete evidence seems to indicate that unlike its other dimensions, the lifespan of the universe is not infinite, so we can only offer our deal for a finite amount of time. (But look! One can divide a finite amount an infinite number of times, so in a sense the universe, and time, is infinite!)

So, for an (in)finite time, we will offer 1 super-advanced-multi-headed-rotating-swivel-push-polisher toothbrush for 1 NS dollar. However, keep in mind that this deal is only available for one person per object, so we will take it at your word that each toothbrush you buy is intended for one person only.

Besides, it's incredibly bad hygiene to share your toothbrush, and it's bloody uncomfortable to put multiple toothbrushes in your mouth at once.

Here you go Noders, your own Galaxic Hitchhikers super-advanced-multi-headed-rotating-swivel-push-polisher toothbrush, and we'll thank you for that one dollar.

Feel proud! You have contributed to keeping the nature of the universe intact!

That'll be one dollar for the toothbrush, sir Nightkill. As for the towel, I'll lend you one free of charge. Just remember to return it before leaving the planet.

Any one else? I sense a sad lack of duty on part of the inhabitants of this universe. If they were extra-dimensional super-beings from out-of-universe I'd understand, but tsk tsk, this'll never do.

Here you go, one super lucky super-advanced-multi-headed-rotating-swivel-push-polisher toothbrush coming up!

But about the towel, Nightkill borrowed mine. So you will have to wait a few minutes while I borrow another towel from Random Citizen to lend to you. Sorry for the inconvenience if the reason you asked was to escape a hungry Bugblatter Beast or some equal unpleasantry requiring quick application of a towel.

We will have to assume you intend to pass these out to your various citizens. The point is to give out toothbruthes for one dollar per one person, and we will have to assume that jamming 100 toothbrushes in your mouth at once, especially electric ones, should be incredibly painful.

Don't bother collecting one dollar from each person you hand these out to, however. As you are their government you probably have their money anyway.

Here you go, and thank you! We are pleased to present to you a free present, as accompanies every fifth customer's purchase. It's a triple-sized mousetrap with a big button on the trigger and a label that reads "I Saved the Universe. Press the Button For Any More D*** Service." Thank you for your patronage!

Well, I see no problem with accepting another dollar from you if you've already used up your other one. My goodness, what big teeth you must have.

A billion? My good sir! My very good sir! That wins you instant favortism around here. Why don't you sit down? Will you have a cup of tea? How about some crumpets, sir? Take the whole bloody box if you please.

A billion toothbrushes equals a billion dollars. Very fine, very jolly fine indeed.

1.896 trillion toothbrushes! My word, Sungai Pusat, you will have to give up those crumpets to our NEW best customer, Diol. Thank you very much, I see that saving the universe in a noble and profitable business after all.

As for your 1x10^15 litres of a liquid that tastes not entirely unlike vodka, may I present you with some Advanced Vodka Substitute (AVS)? It tastes absolutely almost not entirely unlike vodka, and courtesy of the Nutrimat, one of the Sirius Cybernetics Corporation's finest inventions! Share and enjoy!

That'll be one dollar for the toothbrush, and you are perfectly welcome to a cup of Advanced Soda Substitute (ASS), courtesy of the same Nutrimat as the feller above got.

But say, you are our next fifth customer! That entitles you to a free gift! So let me present to you a free automatic-firing Kill-O-Zap rifle, guaranteed to kill on zap.

The Nutrimat tsk-tsks at Diol. "Dearie," its answers patronizingly, "you have not finished the lovely cup of Advanced Vodka Substitute I made for you. No matter, you let it get cold. I will make another." The Nutrimat hums and then produces a plastic cup filled with steamy, foamy brown liquid. "Drink it up, dear. And remember, Sirus Cybernetics Corporation: we make you plastic pals that are fun to be with!"
