You people might find it strange that quite a few of my collegues are into New Age stuff. But you really have no idea just how strange. Let me explain. My collegues have quite possibly the sharpest and most skeptical minds of our time. You dont believe me? Please find below the transcribt from one of our coffee breaks, a week ago. (Yes, we do that.) A: What a splendid weather we had yesterday! B: That's rather a bold statement. How can you be so sure? C: Please define the geographical area and the exact time frame in question. D: How do you define "splendid"? E: How do you define "weather"? F: How do you two define "define"? A: Ah, I took the liberty of quickly writing up a paper. <Hands out papers.> For simplicity, I put most of the corollaries in appendix C, all of the simulation results in appendix G and, as usual, the graphs in appendix K. B-F: <Skeptical mumbling.> A: I suggest we meet at the next coffee break and discuss this more thorougly. B: Why do you call it "coffee break"? I'm having tea. C: But you had coffee yesterday. D-F: <Mumbling and turning of pages in yesterday's transcribt.> D: Yes... E: ...coffee... F: ...yesterday. A: Point taken. Perhaps it would be possible to reconvene at a later time of your choosing, to discuss the validity of my opening statement, should so occur. B-F: <Skeptical mumbling.> A: Anyway, Id better get back to my office. Perhaps someone could point me in the right direction? B-F: <Outraged mumbling. Furious turning of pages in last months transcribts.> C: How could we possibly know with certainty where your office is located? B-F: <Distinctly aggressive mumbling.> C: And by the way, are you, by any chance, wearing my glasses? A: Please. Youll have to be more specific. Are you referring to the ones on my forehead, on my nose or in my hands? C: Well, all seven pairs. B: Thats rather a bold statement. How can you be so sure? D: How do you define rather? Here endeth the transcribt, as the transcriber had a nervous break-down. Presumably. She hasnt gotten an official diagnose yet. Shes still laying on the floor. Twitching.
