One known physicist built a telescope. It is huge, with its growth. If disassembled, it will fit in a suitcase.
HH: So he went on vacation. From Berlin to Peter, from there to Moscow, and from there to Egypt (I don’t remember where exactly). There were no problems with the suitcase.
He goes out with his girlfriend means in Egypt at the airport. He immediately pulled his finger, and came. Suitable - they show the scan of the suitcase. Tell me, what is it for you? Let him explain, calls the telescope. They are confused. I tried, I tried, I arranged a pantomime - in no way. Well, they don’t understand him, and on their own he doesn’t say a word... Well, he got a brilliant idea to show a photo where he in Moscow stands next to his disassembled telescope.
xxx: He gets a camera and shows the photo to the border guards. A man under two meters tall, a three-month-old beard, stands next to a two-metre-long machina, which points to the sky and is more like a shoveled grenade than a telescope. Only the Soviet army is missing.
He says, when they saw the photo, they froze for a few seconds.Then they recalled, gathered all the airport guard, forced to gather.
The conclusion was epic: when the telescope was already assembled, the same border guard, who struck it with his finger, looked at this assembled miracle and surprisedly said in Russian: "Shit, this is the telescope! Why didn’t you say it right away?"
And then say that they don’t understand the joke :)
