Three scientists—Papaia, Banani, and Ravioli—and their assistant Igor, who are supposed to attend the famous dark matter conference, board the wrong 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 it’s not exactly what they expected… in the sense that it’s awful.
After a rough night, they also get stuck in the elevator.
We are at the bar, where the clerk is finishing his coffee break with his friend Alfred.
They sip their coffee.
Alfred: Yeah, and you didn’t see them leave?
Clerk: It was nine in the evening… I was sleeping.
🤣🤣🤣
But then I heard some noises… so I went out to the reception.
Alfred: Now I’m confused! Why didn’t you stop them if you heard noises? Didn’t you see them leave?
Clerk: No, the noises were coming from the elevator. They were trapped inside.
🤣🤣🤣
Alfred: Another group stuck in that elevator… at this point, it’s more of a routine than an accident!
🤣🤣🤣
… But did you help them?
Clerk: Lose sleep over them?
🤣🤣🤣
… Of course not! I went back to bed.
🤣🤣🤣
Alfred: You weren’t worried?
Clerk: Actually, it was a serious mistake, from which I learned two things.
Alfred: To maintain the elevator and be more altruistic?
Clerk: What are you saying? Have you gone mad?
🤣🤣🤣
…You know, Alfred, sometimes it feels like we don’t even know each other!
🤣🤣🤣
Alfred: I didn’t mean to offend your sensibilities…
🤣🤣🤣
Clerk: As I said, I learned two things. The first is “always think of everything,” and the second is “”never let anyone tap off”.
🤣🤣🤣
Alfred: Yeah, but how did they escape?
Clerk: The next morning, I went up to the third floor and saw the elevator doors open, with the cabin stuck halfway between the third and fourth floors.
Alfred: They forced the doors open and ran away!
Clerk: Exactly. And without paying the bill.
🤣🤣🤣
Alfred: And how many bottles of water did they take?
Clerk: Two! Two half bottles, Alfred!
🤣🤣🤣
The clerk falls silent for a moment, reliving the trauma.
🤣🤣🤣
