Der Astrophysiker und Nobelpreis-Gewinner Brian Schmidt<\/a><\/a> versuchte, in den USA in einem Flugzeug zu reisen, weil er seiner Oma in Fargo, North Dakota, die Medaille zeigen wollte. (via Fefe<\/a> und Scientific American<\/a>). Dieser Dialog mit den Kontrolleuren des Handgep\u00e4cks ist wirklich Comedy pur:<\/p>\n

They\u2019re like, \u2018Sir, there\u2019s something in your bag.\u2019
\nI said, \u2018Yes, I think it\u2019s this box.\u2019
\nThey said, \u2018What\u2019s in the box?\u2019
\nI said, \u2018a large gold medal,\u2019 as one does.
\nSo they opened it up and they said, \u2018What\u2019s it made out of?\u2019
\nI said, \u2018gold.\u2019
\nAnd they\u2019re like, \u2018Uhhhh. Who gave this to you?\u2019
\n\u2018The King of Sweden.\u2019
\n\u2018Why did he give this to you?\u2019
\n\u2018Because I helped discover the expansion rate of the universe was accelerating.\u2019
\nAt which point, they were beginning to lose their sense of humor. I explained to them it was a Nobel Prize, and their main question was, \u2018Why were you in Fargo?\u2019<\/i><\/p>\n

Bruhahahaha.<\/p>\n
