Bob Newhart Meets Nirvana
by Mark J. Mitchell
Hi, Wally. Yeah, this is Bob.
What, you can’t come to work today?
Okay. You sick? No?
You’re — you’re what?
You’re enlightened.
Okay, I see.
So, is this like
one of those twenty-four-hour things?
You… you hope not.
Three days, then?
Oh. You’re not really sure.
I guess you never know with these things.
Should we clear out
your locker then? What’s that?
You’ll send your consciousness.
Okay. I see. I guess. Okay. See you somehow.
Hey, Ted. We need a new plumber--
Wally came over all enlightened.
