Three scientists\u2014Papaia, Banani, Ravioli\u2014and their assistant Igor, who were supposed to attend the famous dark matter conference, miss their flight and end up on the other side of the world. Arriving at the wrong airport, they book a hotel for the night, but it\u2019s not exactly what they expected\u2026 meaning, it\u2019s awful. Banani, while trying to collect rainwater, gets his arm trapped in the narrow window and calls Papaia for help.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia climbs the many flights of stairs and knocks on the door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia: Banani, I\u2019m here! Open the door!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banani: How can I? Didn\u2019t I tell you I\u2019m trapped?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia: Oops! That\u2019s true! So now\u2026 what do we do?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia thinks for a moment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia: Wait there, don\u2019t move! I\u2019ll go call the clerk!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banani: Oh no! That\u2019s a terrible idea!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia: You\u2019re right. Better not wake him up\u2026 Let me think\u2026 Ok! We\u2019ll wait until tomorrow morning!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banani: Yeah\u2026 and what about me? My arm hurts, I can\u2019t feel it anymore!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia: I could come in through the window\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banani: Yeah, if you can fit, my arm might fit too, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia: Ah, yeah, that\u2019s true.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia thinks again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia: Have you tried calling Ravioli and Igor? Maybe they\u2019ll think of something.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banani: Sure! We could have a midnight brainstorming session, you guys out on the landing, and me here with my arm stuck!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia: Sounds better than nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banani: Ok! I\u2019ll call them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia: Wait! I\u2019ve had a brilliant idea! I\u2019ll break down the door!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banani: No, what are you saying?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia: Get to safety! I\u2019m about to hit!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banani: How? Isn\u2019t my arm stuck here?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Papaia: Fine, then just close your eyes, and don\u2019t worry. I\u2019ll break down the door with a strong shoulder charge!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Banani: No, Papaia, stop, you\u2019ll hurt yourself!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Too late! Papaia takes a run-up and throws his whole weight against the door. In doing so, he trips over a badly placed piece of carpet and slams his head violently against the door, losing consciousness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Igor: “You know, every time Papaia attacks something\u2014or someone\u2014he just ends up hurting himself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
.. We could call it the secret move of Papaia! Maybe he should start his own martial art and teach his students how to knock themselves out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2026They could even organize a world championship\u2026 the winner is whoever manages to take themselves down in the shortest time!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2026This martial art wouldn\u2019t be very enjoyable for the practitioners\u2026 but definitely more so for the spectators.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2026 more or less like watching a circus of clowns!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
