A Lively Christmas Eve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Three scientists \u2014 Papaia, Banani, and Ravioli \u2014 and their assistant Igor, who work at NASAL, start getting interested in creationism. Their superiors, worried, send them to the psychologist, Professor Faggioli, a shady character determined to get them fired by making them look insane.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We are in Professor Faggioli’s office, where Ravioli is undergoing evaluation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
We are in Professor Faggioli’s office.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ravioli\u2019s session continues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Faggioli: Weren’t we talking about visiting your mom?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ravioli: Oh, right! Yes. I was telling you about when I went to see my folks and accidentally electrocuted the cat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2026 trying to get rid of an herbal tea\u2026 but it wasn\u2019t a watered plant\u2026 it was a lamp that short-circuited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Faggioli: Yes, and with your mom completely unaware\u2026 as usual\u2026 Raviolino style!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ravioli: Yes, and I forgot a small detail. It wasn\u2019t just any day, it was Christmas Eve, and all the relatives were there too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Faggioli: Well! That doesn\u2019t seem like a small detail to me. But\u2026 the cat\u2026 are you telling me no one saw you electrocute it?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ravioli: No, because they were all distracted with the slideshow of the trip to Bengal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Faggioli: And those things still exist?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ravioli: Yes, and that\u2019s exactly what saved me!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Faggioli: It saved your lies, but surely didn\u2019t save the cat!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2026 that got electrocuted!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ravioli: Eh, no! I have to admit that with me, cats don’t last long!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A bit like Banani\u2019s phone credit abroad!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2026 but believe me, it\u2019s not my fault!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Faggioli (whispering): Good! This is perfect for the audio editor\u2026 let\u2019s do a nice copy-paste\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ravioli: Huh?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Faggioli: I said, “I\u2019m sorry, you can count on me!”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ravioli: Oh\u2026 Thanks!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Faggioli (under his breath): Yeah, yeah\u2026 to get you fired!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2026 But tell me\u2026 is this the incident you were talking about?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ravioli: No, no. Cats getting hurt is everyday business for us\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2026 something worse happened\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Igor then commented, trying to guess: Something worse? Let me guess\u2026 Ravioli ate the figurines of the three wise men thinking they were made of chocolate?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
