[ Following is a purely fictional dialogue exchange and bears no relation to reality ]
“You never agree with me.”
“Well, that my darling Emma, is precisely the cause of your academic success. Besides, the only time I recall we agreed upon something was when I asked you to marry me. Which is why we’re here today, married, in love and together fifty.”
“To the latter I agree. And about the former, I’m glad you agree I’m an academic success.”
“Mmm-hmm”
“But whatever, about this presently, my take on formal methods in computer science is certainly correct and so shall you agree once they approve my paper and declare it the standard.”
“Well, my darling wife, it’s good to have hopes but just those that won’t hurt.”
“Whatever. Mrs. Ginger, please prepare tea for Sir and whatever breakfast he pleases. I’m too busy today to serve such smug people as he.”
“Yes Mrs. Ginger, please prepare me breakfast and also remind my darling wife of all the time my work has been established the standard.”
“My dear Bill, well I think Mrs. Ginger rather should remind you that your contribution to the field is indeed very little compared to the published cannon of my extensive work.”
“I profess that little but high quality work is more worthy of appreciation than much work lacking in quality. I’m going to my study. Mrs. Ginger will you please serve me breakfast there?”
“Sure Sir.”
“Also, Mrs. Ginger before I take leave, please be kind enough to remind Emma darling that all of my fifteen students completed their PHDs with straight A+”
“Well, may I remind you my dear husband Bill that ten out of the thirty five students under my guidance scored A+ while others scored straight A. These statistics, put into ratio against yours attest my greater excellence in academics”
“Please pass me the cup of tea Mrs. Ginger.”
“Sure Sir.”
[ Hands the cup to Bill ]
“I’ll just check who knocked at the door.”
“Mr. Watson is here”
[ Mr. Watson walks into the kitchen ]
“Hello Emma! Hey Bill! Good Morning! How’re you all doing?”
“Sir and Ma’am are enjoying their usual round of sardonic appreciation. Sir, I will take leave now.”
Mr. Watson: “Oh their playful banter delights me every-time. They’re adorable together. Their bond truly is unparalleled. True it is, the deeper the love, the stronger the emotion, An’ the stronger the love, the deeper the devotion…” [ lyrics of a popular song ]
All in unison: I agree.
