Three renowned scientists\u2014Papaia, Banani, Ravioli\u2014and their assistant Igor work at the NASAL observatory.
Papaia remembers that the flight for the conference is in two hours, but upon arriving at the airport, he realizes he hasn\u2019t paid for the ticket, and they miss the flight.
Ravioli uses Papaia\u2019s card at a suspicious ATM, and the bank blocks it.
But the customer service is closed, and they end up stuck at the airport for the night.
Moreover, with their suitcases\u2014too many, open, and broken\u2014they cause chaos wherever they go.
Papaia has called the bank\u2019s customer service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We\u2019re at the airport, where Papaia is trying to unlock the card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The operator gives Papaia the number to call, then says goodbye and hangs up the phone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banani: So? How did it go? Did you manage to solve it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Igor: To make things worse?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2026Yeah, of course! It’s Papaia!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia: No! They did the security check, but the questions were impossible!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Igor: Like\u2026 “What\u2019s your name?”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banani: So what now?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia: I have a plan! They think I\u2019m the one who cloned the card\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banani: And why would you clone your own card?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Igor: To get double credit?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia: No, what are you talking about? They think I\u2019m not me, but a scammer impersonating me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banani: So they think you’re impersonating yourself?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2026What are these people thinking? Why would you do that if you\u2019re already you?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia: Let\u2019s forget it, Banani. My plan is this: I\u2019ll call the fraud center and tell them my card wasn\u2019t cloned. That way, we can use it again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Igor: Great plan! That\u2019ll also be a hit with the guy who cloned your card\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banani: Igor\u2019s right, we\u2019ll lose all the money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia: No! You don\u2019t get it. I\u2019ll just buy the ticket and withdraw enough cash, then I\u2019ll block it again!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banani: Papaia, you\u2019re a genius!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Igor: A genius, sure\u2026 but the kind of genius that ends up in bank manuals as \u201cWhat NOT to do in case of fraud.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
