The front page of the campus newspaper was my 00:00
best course of action. 00:02
I deployed every weapon in my literary 00:03
arsenal. Humor. 00:06
So funny. 00:07
Gravitas. So moving. 00:09
Fear mongering. 00:11
So scary. 00:13
And last but not least. 00:14
Heartfelt emotion. 00:16
Not worry. Shine all in on fear. 00:18
Excuse me. If I had an excuse that's going 00:27
to rip the lid off this university's 00:29
leadership and shine a light on its rotten 00:31
core. Who could I turn that into? 00:33
You can give it to me. I'd feel more 00:35
comfortable giving it to someone who's less 00:36
likely to roll it up and smoke it. 00:38
Well, I'm the editor, so it's me or nothing. 00:40
Very well. I'm handing you the scoop of a 00:43
lifetime. 00:45
Okay. 00:46
As your people say, I think you'll dig it. 00:47
Hello, this is Mayor Harrison. 00:52
I understand you are running for office 00:54
class president. 00:57
Do you have any advice on how to win? 00:58
Most important thing is to get out there and 01:01
connect with people. 01:03
That's tricky. 01:04
I'm not terribly fond of people. 01:05
Well, you might need to get over that. 01:07
Assuming I can, how do I connect with them? 01:09
Friendly handshake is a great start. 01:12
Oh, boy. Now I have to touch them. 01:15
Over the next few days, I mounted my 01:18
campaign. 01:20
My name is Sheldon Cooper, and I'm running 01:21
for class president. 01:23
Okay, put her there. 01:24
Greetings, fellow students. 01:29
I'm running for class president. 01:30
Here's a button. 01:32
Have a grown up. Put them on you. 01:36
They're sharp. Hello, I'm Sheldon Cooper, 01:37
and I'm running for class president. 01:41
Yeah, I understand you had a baby last year. 01:43
If you bring it in, I'll try to kiss it. 01:45
I was shocked to learn that the Happy Hearth 01:50
Home bakeries had been bought out by the 01:52
domestic food corporation, and they started 01:54
making their bread faster and cheaper. 01:56
And you don't like that, do you? 01:58
No. 02:00
And you're collecting signatures to make them 02:00
stop, I am. 02:03
Corporations shouldn't be allowed to make 02:04
these decisions on their own. 02:06
Well who should? 02:08
The people who eat the bread. 02:09
This wouldn't happen if there were 02:11
centralized control over all these big 02:12
corporations. Are you suggesting. 02:14
A communist form of government in Texas? 02:16
I suppose I am. 02:20
Hang on a sec. There you have it. 02:21
Local boy Sheldon Cooper says communism is 02:23
what Texas needs. 02:26
Oh, dear God. 02:30
Hey, here's a funny prank you can try 02:31
tonight. When Dan falls asleep, put some 02:33
shaving cream in his hand and then tickle 02:36
his nose. Why? 02:38
Because then he'll go to, you know, scratch 02:40
the nose and he'll get shaving cream on his 02:42
face. 02:44
And then what? 02:45
Well. 02:46
That's it. 02:48
Well, I'm a guest in their home, and that 02:50
doesn't seem like a very good way to repay 02:52
their kindness. 02:54
Never mind. And what if the shaving cream 02:55
gets in his eyes? That would sting. 02:58
Sorry, I mentioned it. 03:00
Also, I didn't bring my own shaving cream. 03:01
I'd have to use his dad. Forget it. 03:03
Shelly. 03:06
Everything okay? 03:10
Hunky dory? Why? 03:11
Well, you're kind of dressed like you 03:13
kidnapped yourself. 03:15
Oh, I tried to block out sensory input. 03:16
I hit a roadblock. Determining whether 03:19
virtual particles have a fixed mass or 03:21
violate momentum conservation. 03:23
But then I remembered that Nikola Tesla 03:25
believed that isolation is where ideas are 03:27
born. 03:29
Who's Nikola Tesla? 03:30
One of the most prolific scientists of the 03:31
20th century. 03:33
Okay, and just out of curiosity, how isolated 03:36
was he? 03:42
Oh, highly. He found human contact revolting. 03:43
Oh, well, that's kind of a lonely way to 03:47
live, don't you think? 03:50
Well, he wasn't entirely alone. 03:51
At the end of his life, he became good 03:53
friends with a brown pigeon. 03:55
Right. See ya. 03:58
Sheldon? 04:04
Yes. 04:05
What is the angular momentum of the neutron 04:05
and the proton inside deuterium? 04:08
Oh, um, L equals zero. 04:10
Carlos, you're missing the 4% admixture of L 04:12
equals two. 04:15
Sorry, I'm a little distracted. 04:16
It happens anyway. 04:18
Normally, I would have gotten that right. 04:19
I have no doubt. 04:21
Anyway, there are just some things going on 04:22
at home, and I'm not allowed to talk about 04:24
it. 04:25
And we don't want to hear about it. 04:26
I can tell you, no one's sick, in case you're 04:27
concerned. 04:29
Anyone concerned? 04:30
Show of hands. 04:31
No. Moving on. 04:32
That's why I got the answer wrong, son. 04:35
It's just a mistake. 04:37
Everyone makes them. 04:38
Like my brother Georgie did when he got that 04:40
girl pregnant. Don't say it. 04:42
Don't say it, don't say it. 04:43
What? 04:46
I need to use the restroom. 04:47
This is college. Just go. 04:48
You. Red shirt, lock the door. 04:53
