Three scientists, Papaia, Banani, Ravioli, and their assistant Igor, who need to attend the famous dark matter conference, head to the airport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
At the check-in counter, our heroes are finalizing their boarding procedure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The attendant meticulously inspects the passports, then starts typing. Her fingers hit the keyboard like bullets from a machine gun. Time seems to stand still. Papaia has turned purple and is about to faint. Banani has grown a long white beard. Ravioli is now just a skeleton. Then, finally, the attendant looks up and smiles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Attendant: Perfect, you\u2019re all set for your flight to Springfield. Everything is in order, you may proceed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia, balancing on one leg, momentarily loses his balance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2026Banani, unable to contain himself, shouts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2026Ravioli involuntarily starts breakdancing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2026Then, the three quickly pull themselves together, pretending nothing happened, glancing around awkwardly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia (faking confidence): See? Everything under control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Igor: According to the cause-and-effect principle, I can confidently say that, as usual, something will go wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You see, just as a lightbulb won\u2019t turn on if it’s not connected to an electric circuit, a trip organized by Papaia cannot proceed without problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Have you ever seen an object fall upwards? Of course not! So get ready, because once again, we\u2019ve all fallen\u2026 into Papaia\u2019s hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
