Three scientists—Papaia, Banani, Ravioli—and their assistant Igor, who were supposed to attend the famous dark matter conference, after a sea of troubles, finally arrived at the conference, but Papaia forgot the tickets at home.
We are in front of the conference center.
The scientists don’t know what to do.
Papaia: No! There must be a way to get in. Maybe they have our names in the system.
Papaia goes to talk to the ticket checker, but after a few minutes, he returns looking sad.
Papaia: I talked to the ticket checker, but there’s no way in without the paper tickets. Apparently, the ticket system works with the serial number, not the owner’s name.
Banani: Maybe we can buy new ones at the ticket office. Go ask.
Papaia: No, I’ve already asked that. Unfortunately, the tickets have been sold out for days.
Ravioli: So, what now? What do we do? Plus, I’m hungry! I was counting on the panzerotto stand inside the conference center.
🤣🤣🤣
Igor: Ravioli’s hungry! Now that’s a serious problem!
🤣🤣🤣
While they’re talking, a shady-looking man approaches.
Man: I heard you guys need tickets!
Papaia: Actually… yes!
Banani: Papaia, what are you doing?
Man: Look here. I’ve got four tickets right here for you.
Papaia: Let me see…
The man shows the tickets to Papaia.
Ravioli: They look good! They have the QR code and the conference logo.
Papaia: How much do they cost?
Man: 500 dollars.
Papaia: Each?
Man: No, per person!
🤣🤣🤣
Papaia: But that’s an outrageous price! We don’t have that much money.
Man: I can give you a discount.
Papaia: How much?
Man: 490 each.
🤣🤣🤣
Ravioli: Accept it! With my 10 dollars, I could buy a panzerotto menu!
🤣🤣🤣
Papaia: How do we know these tickets are real?
Man: You don’t trust me, huh? You’re right! Here’s the deal: your friends go in first, and you go in last and pay me before you enter.
Papaia: Okay, deal!
Man: Good, let’s proceed!
Papaia: Just one small detail…
Man: What?
Papaia: We don’t have 490 dollars each!
🤣🤣🤣
…We spent almost all our money getting here!
Man: In that case, we can’t proceed. But if you change your mind, you can find me by this tree.
The man walks away and stands by his tree.
Igor: Well, guys, it could’ve been worse… at least he didn’t ask for a kidney as a down payment!
🤣🤣🤣
