Degrees of Brilliance
-The number coming back will be beyond massive!
-Take a chair. It's the opposite by infinite magnitudes.
Smallest I've ever seen!
-What...does it mean?
-Barking up the wrong tree for...
-My whole career! Wasted! And five years till retirement.
-Well, off into the sunset. Unless they bring it to you prematurely.
-I deserve even less than that. We should apologize to our students!
-What good would that do? As scientists, they know such a thing could happen.
-Yeah, to dunderheads!
-Don't be so hard on yourself-- and especially me!
Besides, a plan suggests itself.
-Oh?
-Jump on this new bicycle and ride the bejesus out of it!
-Can't do it that fast!
-You must! In five years, you retire a genius.
Work on your Swedish!
-And do those five geniusing years make up for...?
-That's not a scientific question.
