A Bad Surprise.
Three scientists—Papaia, Banani, and Ravioli—and their assistant Igor work at the NASAL observatory. During a trip to a big conference, they find some interesting books and start getting into creationism. But their bosses don’t like this new interest. The four are called into the boss’s office, where he tells them they’ll need to pass a psychological test to keep their jobs. But they go to the wrong door by mistake.
We are in the infirmary, in which Ravioli has just entered.
Nurse: So, Ravioli, tell me: have you experienced any symptoms like fever, muscle pain, nasal congestion, or bone pain?
🤣🤣🤣
Ravioli (confused.): No, I haven’t had any of those symptoms. Why are you asking? Are these symptoms related to our problem?
Nurse: What kind of world do you live in, Ravioli? Haven’t you ever heard that these are the main symptoms?
Ravioli (pretending to know.): Ah, of course! Obviously, who wouldn’t know that? Come to think of it … last night I didn’t sleep well, and this morning I have a bit of a headache.
🤣🤣🤣
Nurse (writing in a notebook.): Let’s see … headache … insomnia … very well. Alright, let’s proceed!
The nurse gets up and rummages through a cabinet. After retrieving a plastic-wrapped item, he turns back to Ravioli.
Nurse: Alright! Now look up and open your mouth!
🤣🤣🤣
Ravioli (confused.): What?
The nurse is holding a nasal swab.
🤣🤣🤣
Nurse: Sorry, Ravioli, but we only have the Extra Large swab left. It’s slightly larger and more painful than the standard one … but don’t worry: it’ll be quick!
🤣🤣🤣
Ravioli: What does the swab have to do with the psychological test?
Nurse (confused.): What psychological test? This is the infirmary for COVID testing! The psychologist’s office is the room next door.
Ravioli: Oh, alright, thanks! Sorry for the trouble. I’ll leave right away.
Nurse: Oh, no! Now that I’ve opened your file, I have to do the swab. I can’t leave this incomplete, or I’ll get in trouble!
🤣🤣🤣
Ravioli: Please, don’t make me do the swab! I’m not mentally prepared for this!
🤣🤣🤣
Nurse: No excuses. Stop acting like a baby! A quick pinch … and it’s done!
Ravioli: No, no!
Nurse (looking up.): Darn! They still haven’t fixed that leak in the ceiling! It’s right above your head…
Instinctively, Ravioli looks up. Taking advantage of the distraction, the nurse swiftly inserts the Extra Large swab into Ravioli’s nose and throat.
🤣🤣🤣
Ravioli screams in pain.
🤣🤣🤣
Igor (commenting later): “Ravioli went through the wrong door and had to endure a terrible nasal swab against his will…
🤣🤣🤣
… but this isn’t the worst thing his nose has had to endure… in fact, let’s not forget about his backpack with the rotten fish inside.”
🤣🤣🤣
