#1323: Protocol explain

Protocol

[Cueball is telling a story to a Computer Scientist who is seated at his desk.]

Cueball: Alice sends a message to Bob saying to meet her somewhere.

Computer Scientist: Uh huh.

Cueball: But Eve sees it, too, and goes to the place.

Computer Scientist: With you so far.

Cueball: Bob is delayed, and Alice and Eve meet.

Computer Scientist: Yeah?

CAPTION: I’ve discovered a way to get computer scientists to listen to any boring story.
