The gentleman said: "You’re wrong, I’ve been thinking since you’ve

On the contrary, you create a terrible disturbance for the aesthetic

feelings of your fellow human beings."

I said: "I am a full professor of ethics and aesthetics at the

university. May I introduce myself?"

The gentleman said: "How are you going to do that? Clearly you

cannot imagine how impossible you are, in your condition."
