Three scientists—Papaia, Banani, and Ravioli—and their assistant Igor work at the NASAL observatory. They come across some interesting books and start getting into creationism. But their bosses don’t like this new interest and send them to take a psychological test, which they must pass to keep their jobs. But Papaia has forgotten where the psychologist’s office is.
We are at NASAL Headquarters, in a hallway, where they are looking for the right door.
Ravioli: Hey, don’t you think we’ve already passed that door?
Banani: I think we’re going around in circles!
Ravioli: Look, there’s a janitor over there. Let’s ask him. Maybe he knows.
The four approach the janitor to ask for directions.
Banani: Excuse me… do you work here?
Janitor: No! I was taking a walk outside the observatory and thought, “Why not clean the third-floor hallways!”
🤣🤣🤣
…So I went home, grabbed my broom… and here I am!
🤣🤣🤣
Ravioli (surprised): Really?
🤣🤣🤣
Igor is quietly laughing.
Banani: Please, don’t joke. The boss sent us here for a test. Do you know where the room is?
Janitor: Sorry for the joke! Yes, I work here. You want to know where the room is for… “the” test?
The four lower their gaze slightly, embarrassed.
Banani: Yes, yes! For… “the” test!
The janitor’s smile suddenly vanishes, replaced by an expression of terror.
Janitor (terrified): Oh! Stop! Keep your distance! Why aren’t you wearing masks?
The janitor takes a step back.
Janitor (covering his face with one hand and pointing to a room with the other): It’s over there! It’s over there!
The janitor quickly walks away down the hallway.
Papaia: What strange behavior!
Banani: Maybe he thinks madness is contagious!
🤣🤣🤣
Ravioli (indignant): I’ve never felt so humiliated in my life!
Igor: Someone here is starting to think that madness might be contagious. Imagine if, besides madness, Papaia’s distraction were contagious…
🤣🤣🤣
… we’d all end up going in circles… in the hallway!
🤣🤣🤣
…Oops! That’s just happening!
🤣🤣🤣
