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. They meet a scalper who offers them tickets, but at exorbitant prices.
Papaia gives up on attending the conference.
We are in front of the conference center.
Ravioli asks Papaia for the card.
Ravioli: Ok! Pass me the card, I saw a food cart selling hot dogs.
🤣🤣🤣
Papaia: But… Ravioli!
Igor: Come on, Papaia! What could possibly happen? We’ll end up with a cloned card?
🤣🤣🤣
Papaia: Alright… but be careful!
Ravioli approaches the hot dog stand.
Vendor: Tell me.
Ravioli: How many hot dogs can I put in a bun?
🤣🤣🤣
Vendor: At most two… I think.
Ravioli: Can you fit four?
🤣🤣🤣
Vendor: Four? Why don’t you just take two double buns?
Ravioli: Is there a discount?
🤣🤣🤣
Vendor: No! Why should I give you a discount? They’re just two regular buns.
Ravioli: A double bun costs 10 dollars, while extra sausages in the bun cost 2 dollars each. So, since I don’t care about the bread, with two extra sausages, I’d spend 14 dollars; whereas with two buns, I’d spend 20 dollars.
🤣🤣🤣
Vendor: Yes, but you haven’t taken the sauces into account. If you get two buns, you’re entitled to 4 doses of sauces of your choice. Whereas, adding only the sausages, you’re entitled to only 2 standard sauces. Extra sauces cost 1 dollar each.
Ravioli: Ah, I hadn’t thought about that, but still, the final value is 16 dollars for the bun with extra additions, compared to the 20 dollars for the two standard buns. That’s a savings of 4 dollars.
🤣🤣🤣
Vendor: Yes, but you’ll never fit a bun with four sausages in your mouth… nobody could ever do it…
Ravioli: Nobody but me!
🤣🤣🤣
…Make me the double bun with two extra sausages and two extra sauces!
Vendor: Ok, do you want to make it a combo? For four dollars, I’ll add fries and a drink.
Ravioli: Yes, of course! Four dollars, exactly the amount I saved!
Vendor: For one more dollar, you can get large fries.
Ravioli: One more dollar? Let me think…
Yeah, why not. And the drink? Can that also be large?
Vendor: The large drink costs three dollars extra…
Ravioli: Ah, no! That’s too expensive!
🤣🤣🤣
Vendor: Ok, then let’s just do the large fries.
Ravioli: No! Wait… What if the small drink isn’t enough?
🤣🤣🤣
Vendor: You can buy another one for five dollars.
Ravioli: Ok, but what’s the capacity of the large drink compared to the small one?
Vendor: Huh?
🤣🤣🤣
Ravioli: Let me see…
Ravioli reads the label on the can.
Ravioli: The small one is 300 ml. While the large one is 500 ml.
Vendor: So, what are you going to do?
Ravioli (thinking out loud):
Let’s do some math. The large drink is 200 ml more for 3 dollars, so that’s 1.5 cents per milliliter. But if I buy two small drinks of 300 ml, I’ll get 300 ml more for 5 dollars, that’s 1.67 cents per milliliter. So, the large drink is the better deal!
Vendor: What’s a milliliter? Ah… you scientists…
🤣🤣🤣
Ravioli: Alright, make me the double bun with two extra sausages and three extra sauces…
Vendor: What sauces do you want? We have ketchup, mayonnaise, mustard, barbecue sauce…
Ravioli: Mayonnaise! All the extra mayo.
Vendor: Ok, you know what? I’ll throw in one extra dose of mayo on the house. Are you happy now?
Ravioli: Yeah, well! With these prices.
🤣🤣🤣
Vendor: What else? Want to make it a combo?
Ravioli: Yes, combo with large fries and a large drink.
Vendor: Ok, that’ll be 24 dollars.
Ravioli: Ouch, those prices! It almost hurts to hear it, but hey, it’s an emergency!
🤣🤣🤣
Igor (watching the scene from afar): Ravioli pulling out his wallet and paying 24 dollars for a hot dog? That can’t be him!
🤣🤣🤣
… Call a doctor!
🤣🤣🤣
..I think he’s about to have a heart attack… not exactly from the quadruple mayo!
🤣🤣🤣
… Or maybe yes?
🤣🤣🤣
