Irrepressible

Even as a youngster, he’d been very playful.

His teachers had frequently referred to him as being irrepressible. However, he was interested in physics and eventually knuckled down to hard study… Now, in his early forties, he was a respected scientist. Within the scientific community, he was known for his fun-loving approach to his work. Here, in his small home-based laboratory, he enjoyed both the solitude and the quiet environment when immersed in a project. In the middle of his worktop, he had an array of pieces of equipment, each thing connected with a series of cables. His recent testing regime had come up with excellent results. As far as he could see, the thing was finished. Unhappily, he would have to stop playing with it, as he was nearing the point where he needed to go through the serious business of sharing the results and his incredible success with his fellow scientists.

There was a gentle knock and the door opened. His wife stuck her head in saying, “I’m just doing a sandwich for lunch. Would you like one?”

“Yes please. Cheese and pickle would be good, thanks.”

She nodded and left, closing the door gently behind her.

He had second thoughts.

He looked down at the controls for a moment before switching the thing back on. He toggled the switch to ‘Minus’, then typed ‘seconds’ into the small screen, before turning a dial to ‘15’.

He stood waiting.

There was a gentle knock and the door opened. His wife stuck her head in saying, “I’m just doing a sandwich for lunch. Would you like one?”

Supressing a smile, he said, “Yes please. Ham and tomato would be good, thanks.”

He just couldn’t help himself.
