Title: Sthenic refresher on Broth

"You Jake?  You run this place?"

Jake answers the well-to-do-looking 'biker' with, "What'll ya have, stranger?
Want to try a house-specialty?  A Broth do ya ok?"

"Sure, something to drink.  Broth sounds good, what is it?"

"De-fatted chicken broth, a shot-and-a-half of good vodka, a hit of garlic,
all over ice.  I won't guarantee you'll keep your feet after a couple of
'em."

The square-built biker considers.  He sheds his new levi jacket revealing a
sthenic upper torso beneath a tank-top emblazoned with signal flags and the
words 'Supercomputing 96'.

Jake mutters to himself, "Geez, does EVERYone get one of those 'cept me?"

"Hmmmm, maybe I'll settle for a beer or something... Naaaw, bring on a Broth.
I haven't had lunch yet."  He laughs.

"That's what they all say, at first." Jake answers, chuckling. "I've been
told Broth is addictive.  Oh, if you prefer tequila, ask for the MexiBroth."

"Yeah, that sounds better yet, maybe with a squeeze of lemon?"
