The clerk
Three scientists—Papaia, Banani, Ravioli—and their assistant Igor, who are supposed to attend the famous dark matter conference, miss their flight and end up on the other side of the world. After arriving at the wrong airport, they book a hotel for the night, but the taxi drops them off in front of an abandoned warehouse. Upon closer inspection, they find a doorbell labeled “Sunflowerr Hotel”.
We are in front of the Sunflowerr Hotel.
Papaia rings the doorbell. No answer. He rings again. Still nothing.
Banani: Maybe it’s broken…
Ravioli: Maybe no one’s there.
A light turns on in the stairwell. Someone stomps down the stairs, grumbling loudly. After a few failed attempts, the door swings open, revealing an elderly man in pajamas, looking thoroughly annoyed.
Clerk: Oh! Do you think this is the right time to knock? You disturbed me! People sleep at this hour!
Banani: But it’s only 9 PM!
🤣🤣🤣
Clerk: At 9 PM, I sleep!
🤣🤣🤣
…Where do you think you are? A hotel?
🤣🤣🤣
Papaia: Excuse us! There must be some mistake. We were looking for the Sunflower Hotel …
Clerk: Well! Then you’re in the wrong place! This is the Sunflowerr Hotel! With two R’s!
🤣🤣🤣
Papaia: Oh! Then we’re in the right place! We have a reservation!
Clerk: There is no reservation! Now get lost!
The clerk slams the door shut.
Ravioli: A hotel clerk who sleeps at nine? Have you ever heard of such a thing?
Igor: The real question is: A hotel clerk… with no hotel?
🤣🤣🤣
Banani: Maybe this is just his house, and the hotel is somewhere else…
Igor: Yeah, and maybe room service is run by his neighbors!
🤣🤣🤣
Papaia: One thing’s for sure—we can say that this clerk is perfectly suited for the hotel he works at…
Igor: Exactly! A clerk perfectly suited… for a basement!
🤣🤣🤣
Banani: Did you notice? He didn’t even check our names on a computer!
Igor: Probably because the only computer he uses is a notepad from 1982.
🤣🤣🤣
Ravioli: Oh, they’ll hear from me when I write my review of this place!
Igor: If you think about it, Ravioli, it’s a genius strategy: No customers, no complaints!
🤣🤣🤣
Papaia: This company has absolutely no regard for its guests!
Igor: On the contrary, I find their business policy simply perfect: Zero guests, zero stress!
🤣🤣🤣
Banani: Have you looked at this place? This is an abandoned warehouse—it has nothing to do with a hotel! I’m telling you, this guy is just at home, and the hotel doesn’t even exist!
Igor: At least the clerk is consistent: no hotel, no hospitality!
🤣🤣🤣
…Actually, I think I’ll open a hotel at my place… All I need to do is change the name on the doorbell, and I’m all set!
🤣🤣🤣
Ravioli: Come on, Banani! Now it’s your turn to ring the bell again!
Banani: No, thanks, I’ve had enough doorbells for one day!
🤣🤣🤣
Igor: And you’ve also had enough beatings!
🤣🤣🤣
Banani: Don’t remind me…
Igor: According to science, the universe moves closer to heat death with every passing moment. And in our case, it’s all a matter of time as well. In fact, I have a feeling that the bench across the street is becoming more and more important to us by the minute!
🤣🤣🤣
