The Minuteman Algorithm

Good afternoon Monsieur Le Bon.A good day to you too Monsieur Joly.How long has the patient been in a persistent vegetative state?I think since the mid eighties.And the patient is still alive?Yes Maurice the brain is still wholly intact as are the organs...But Gustave why does not the patient wake up?It seems that the patient is aware of everything that happens around him but for some reasonprefers to flee from reality.I understand Gustave; this is tragic very tragic but also not bad because then we can openlytalk while we play.All right Maurice lets get the patient to the table and let him watch our game...
