Three scientists\u2014Papaia, Banani, Ravioli\u2014and their assistant Igor, who are supposed to attend the famous dark matter conference, take the wrong flight and end up on the other side of the world. After arriving at the wrong airport, they book a hotel to spend the night, but when they get there, the clerk refuses to let them in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We are in front of the Sunflowerr Hotel, where the four are trying to convince the clerk that they have a reservation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Clerk: Do you have anything to prove that you\u2019ve paid? I don\u2019t believe it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia: Here you go, look at the app!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia shows the phone to the clerk.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Clerk: \u201cThe phone? What am I supposed to do with that? Call the bank?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Don\u2019t you know the customer service is closed at this hour?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Clerk: \u201cOlive cooking crabs?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2026 No, this is a hotel! The seafood restaurant is on the waterfront.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Igor: This is a hotel? Really? And what makes you think that?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banani: It\u2019s not \u201colive,\u201d it\u2019s \u201conline\u201d! It means we booked through the internet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Clerk: \u201cInterdent? What\u2019s that? A new brand of dental floss?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2026Are you door-to-door salesmen?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2026 I don\u2019t need it, thanks. I\u2019ve got everything! Go sell it somewhere else.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ravioli: No! It\u2019s \u201cinternet,\u201d the global digital communication network. It\u2019s \u201cweb\u201d!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Clerk: \u201cA web? I don\u2019t sell any web! This is a hotel, not a fishing store!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2026But wait, do you want the crabs already cooked or do you want to catch them yourselves? I still don\u2019t get it!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Igor: A web? Oh, you mean a spider web, just like this so-called hotel\u2026 a perfect trap for tourists!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia: Look at the app! The app! Right here on my phone!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Clerk: App? What\u2019s an app?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ravioli: \u201cApp\u201d stands for \u201capplication.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Clerk: Applications? Ah, no! I\u2019ve already done those for this week. Are you doctors?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banani: An app is\u2026 how can I explain it\u2026 something on the phone, like a program!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Clerk: A program? Like on TV?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia: No, not exactly!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Clerk: Like the washing machine program?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Igor: This is getting heated\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banani: It\u2019s\u2026 something you use on your phone to do things!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Clerk: Ah, like calling?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ravioli: Well, yes, calling too\u2026 but not only!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Clerk: Well then, what else are you supposed to do with the phone if not call?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banani: Book a hotel, for example?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Clerk: Ah, I got it! And the money? Did you send it to me by mail?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Igor: \u201cOf course, we even sent a carrier pigeon with the receipt,<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2026 but it must\u2019ve gotten lost on the way.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
