During a trip to a big conference, they find some interesting books and start getting into creationism. But their bosses don\u2019t like this new interest. The four are called into the boss\u2019s office, where he tells them they\u2019ll need to pass a psychological test to keep their jobs. But they go to the wrong door by mistake. That\u2019s the infirmary, where Ravioli is forced to undergo a painful nasal swab, while the others take flight.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are in one of the many corridors of the building, where the four are running away from the nurse, and they are still looking for the right door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ravioli: Hey, we\u2019re here, guys! Here\u2019s the right door!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They knock on the door, Ravioli pointed out. This time, it\u2019s opened by Professor Faggioli, the official psychologist for NASAL.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Faggioli: Well, well. The four scientists. What happened? You\u2019re late!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ravioli: Let\u2019s just say we had a \u201cbig\u201d&#8230; setback.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Faggioli: Anyway, let me introduce myself: I\u2019m Professor Faggioli, and I\u2019ll be your psychologist for the aptitude test.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Papaia: Pleased to meet you, Professor. Sorry for being late; we had trouble finding the room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ravioli: It\u2019s the janitor\u2019s fault! He gave us the wrong information!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Faggioli: Why did you ask the janitor for directions? Didn\u2019t I send you a message, Papaia?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Papaia: Oops! So that wasn\u2019t an ad!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Banani: How did you confuse a work message with an ad?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Papaia: Uh\u2026 I thought \u201cProfessor Faggioli\u201d was a new brand of&#8230; canned beans!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Igor is secretly laughing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Faggioli (showing his phone): Excuse me, Papaia, but how could you mix this up? <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8230;Look here. The message says: \u201cSee you tomorrow at 8:00 AM for the session and aptitude test. My office is on the third floor, room A. Best regards, Professor Faggioli.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Papaia: Uh\u2026 I think I only read the last part\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ravioli: Oh, Papaia! Are you saying I had to endure an extra large nasal swab because you didn\u2019t properly read a clear text message?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At that moment, someone enters the room. It\u2019s the nurse, who has found them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nurse: There you are, I found you!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Banani: How did you find us?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nurse: Weren\u2019t you supposed to be here for the test?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Banani: Oops! That\u2019s right!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ravioli (smirking.): Now you all have to do the swab too!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nurse: Well said, Ravioli! I\u2019ve already opened your files, and the regulations require me to complete the test. I can\u2019t leave the job unfinished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While Ravioli stays in the psychologist\u2019s waiting room, the other three are forced to follow the nurse to undergo the painful extra large nasal swab. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ravioli watches Papaia\u2019s exit, rubbing his hands with vengeful satisfaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Faggioli: Very well. Since we\u2019re already late, let\u2019s not waste more time! You\u2019re up first, Ravioli.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ravioli enters the psychologist\u2019s office. In the distance, the screams of the three unfortunate souls undergoing the extra large nasal swab echo.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Faggioli: This scene makes me nostalgic for the good old days of quarantine! <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8230;Ah, sweet memories!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ravioli thinks: Stereotypes say psychologists are a bit odd. I\u2019ve always been against that prejudice. But now, one question troubles me: did I sit on the right side\u2026 of the desk?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Igor later commented: &#8220;Faggioli was probably the only person on Earth who actually enjoyed quarantine. Especially when, trapped in his 12-square-foot apartment, he would fantasize about being the president of the virus containment committee<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8230; and, just like he usually did with his patients during their sessions, imposing his strict rules on everyone.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/savedblog.com\/?p=4785\">Previous<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/savedblog.com\/?p=4791\">Next<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Three scientists\u2014Papaia, Banani, and Ravioli\u2014and their assistant Igor work at the NASAL observatory.
