Interview with a famous scientist.

I think that this week must be full of smiles and laughter. This is the reason for the reblog. Hope, you’ll like it.

PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS

An hour ago I received an email from my friend. It was in Russian.

I translated it to share it with you. We are both interested if you like the interview.

Reporter:

I’d like to know how scientists are thinking. Surely, your mind is working in a laboratory, in a library.

But do you continue to think about a problem at home?

How do you come to discovery?

Scientist:

Well, here is an example. For a long time when my wife and I lied down in bed my wife said to me that she had a headache. So, of course, I was thinking how to deal with this problem. And then one day it hit me, and I discovered …

A new super drug from headache?

Scientist:

No. I discovered that our neighbor was a lonely, kind and sympathetic

woman.

Ultimatum

It was a wonderful Sunday evening. We returned home after seeing movie “The Last Emperor” and we were looking forward to a quiet enjoyable dinner.

Suddenly my wife came to my room and said:

“Darling, I am very sorry! You have to choose: me or it!”

I could not believe my ears!

After 29 years of happy marriage I was given an ultimatum.

Why?

Everything started so simple.

My oncologist told me that I needed injections of vitamins B. I asked him to let me try to use foods instead of injections. Then I researched what food was the best for this purpose. It was natto.

At 11 I called the natural products store in Manhattan and asked if they had natto. They answered that I was in luck and I must come as soon as possible because natto was in short supply.

I went there and bought a small plastic container with natto.

On the way home in subway I was reading a very interesting book. However, I still noticed that passengers moved as far away from me as they could. Some of them just went to another car.

I thought: “Strange people! I took a shower before going to the store!”

When I came home I put natto in the refrigerator and we went to see the movie.

“My love, what happened? Why are you so upset? Why is this ultimatum?”

She answered: “Come with me in the kitchen!”

We went in the kitchen. There was a very strange unpleasant odor there.

“Please open the refrigerator!”

I opened it and was hit by a wave of a very strong smell. I immediately closed the refrigerator.

My wife said: “It is your natto! I prepared a nice dinner but I don’t think we’ll be able to eat it. I am not sure that we will be able to stay in the apartment either if you don’t throw it away immediately”.

Without words I took a container with natto and a teaspoon and went out from the apartment. Then I opened the container.

Natto smelled terrible. It looked awful. I took a teaspoon of it, put it in my mouth and started to chew. I did not like the taste at all and I decisively closed the container and put it in the garbage shaft.

Then I returned in the apartment, opened windows and turned on air conditioning.

We went to a good restaurant and had a very nice evening.

When we returned home there was not bad odor in the apartment anymore and we slept very well.

It was clear that I made a right choice!

My wonderful loving wife, my best friend stayed with me!

But the problem with vitamins B was not solved!

I HAD TO TRY NATTO AGAIN!

I am sure that now you’d like to know what is natto. It’s a Japanese food from fermented soybeans.

SO WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT IT?     photo by JF

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

One Russian joke

A young man came home in a new Jeep.

Parents asked him: “How and where did you get it?”

“You know, on the way home I met  a woman and she asked if I wanted to buy this car for 50 rubles. Fortunately, I did not spend money on lunch today. So I bought this car.”

Father: “Please show us where this woman lives”.

They went nearby and met the woman. The father asks: “Did you really sold this expensive car for 50 rubles?”.

She answered: “Yes, I did. You know, my husband went on a business trip and then sent me a letter that he met a wonderful girl and decided to stay with her. He also asked me to sell all his possessions and then to make a deposit to his bank account.

By the way, would you be interested in buying a three bedroom apartment for 100 rubles?”
