Suddenly Physfit heard a loud scream. Opened his eyes and realized one 
of the male cats had surprized the other. It was calm again. He turned 
his face left and tried to read the time from the pendulum clock on the 
wall without eyeglasses.

Whatever the time was, it was too early to get up; this much, he could 
discern from it. So Physfit made himself comfortable and let himself 
dive back into sleep.

But something wasn't right.

He noticed he was only _thinking_ that he was in bed, while actually, 
when he'd look around him, it was obvious that he was lying down on the 
back seat of his car. So he sat up and looked through the windows and 
... although for some reason it felt familiar, he could not recognize 
exactly where he was. The car was parked inside a restaurant, it seemed, 
with tables and chairs and a few people blabbering nonsense and eating 
junk food. Why did that place feel familiar?

Physfit had just turned around to check the place some more, when he 
realized who it was that was sitting all by himself at a table. There 
could be no mistake. He was Pope The Penis X.

And on the ground, in front of the Pope, just three feet from his fat 
feet, was RonB in prostration posture, flat on the ground with hands 
stretched sidewise like a cross. In absolute submission. Worse than 
that, The Pope's penis was hanging out! ...

"Enough of this crap," said Physfit to himself, and walked over to an 
available table and sat down. Two monkeys were up there close to the 
ceiling sitting by themselves, hand in hand, lauching at people down 
around the tables.

"So this is COLA; I'm _inside_ it now, there's RonB flat on the floor, 
The Jack Mormon and DFS up there hand in hand, laughing and screaming. 
Where is Joel? ..."

A fly the size of the text character % was buzzing around a table in a 
darker area of the restaurant. "That must be %", Physfit said to 
himself, "and that's where Joel could be sitting as well."

A couple of strangers where here and there too, and other than these 
people there were no one else in the shop.

Then a Garson appeared, walking with an inflated sense of 
self-importance toward Physfit's table, and asked him what he would like 
to have. Phyisfit said "strong coffee, no sugar", and as he looked up 
and saw the Garson, he immediately realized who this fellow was. It was 
that "true American" fellow, complete with a towel on his forearm, and 
saddle-shaped spectator shoes. So before it was too late, Physfit 
quickly changed his mind and said, "Never mind, I'm not having anything 
today." He wouldn't know what crap the "true American" would add to his 
coffee back inside the kitchen before serving it to him.

Physfit pulled his notebook out and opened it. Went for the last entry. 
There they were, the two numbers in base e, to be added together. He had 
presented the challenge earlier in the day for COLA frequenters when he 
was outside of cyberspace, but having nothing better to do for the 
moment, he went ahead and calculated the result in 14 significant digits.

What was the result he got, if the two numbers in base e were 2122 and 
1212 ?
