Old Friends.
Three scientists, Papaia, Banani, Ravioli, and their assistant Igor, who were supposed to attend the famous dark matter conference, after a sea of trouble, finally arrive at the conference. As soon as they enter, Ravioli uses a broken bathroom and causes serious plumbing damage.
We are in the main hall of the conference center. The four are spending time chatting at the center of the large hall in the dining area. The place is crowded with people. While talking with the others, Banani notices someone among the many participants.
Banani: Look over there! Those are my old university friends from the research group.
Banani excuses himself and approaches the group he saw. One of the former classmates notices Banani.
Colleague 1: Colleagues! Look who’s coming, Banani, the “tornado”!
🤣🤣🤣
…Remember him?
Colleague 2: Of course! Who could forget a guy like that?
🤣🤣🤣
Banani arrives and greets everyone.
Banani: Hey, look here! Long time no see!
Colleague 1: We could say the same about you!
They exchange handshakes.
Colleague 1: I can’t believe it, seeing you here, Banani! How did you manage it? No offense, but… I remember you had some trouble with advanced physics back at university.
🤣🤣🤣
Colleague 2: Yeah! Like that time you mistook a Feynman diagram for a subway map!
🤣🤣🤣
The group laughs, not too harshly. This is enough to make Banani boil with anger.
Banani: Well, guys, everyone starts somewhere, right? Don’t forget, even Einstein was bad at math when he was a kid.
Colleague 3: So… how’s life treating you? What are you up to now?
Banani: I work at NASAL, at the space observatory.
The colleagues are impressed for a moment.
Colleague 1: Really? At NASAL? Congratulations! I heard it’s incredibly hard to get in there.
Colleague 2: Are you part of Bluejeans’ team?
Banani: Ah, no! I wish! My team is with Professor Papaia.
Colleague 3: Professor Papaia? I’ve never heard of him…
Colleague 2: Must be the one who published that paper on supernovae…
Colleague 1: Oh, yes, it was an original title, something about light waves…
Colleague 3: Here, look, I found it on the search engine: “Light Waves and Mental Gaps:
🤣🤣🤣
…An Investigation into Supernovae”
Colleague 2: What kind of title is that?
Igor: An honest title! Finally, someone admits to having mental gaps while writing a book… or maybe they just forgot to fix the title at the end!
🤣🤣🤣
