The First Inter-Galactic Conversation
For his entire working life, a dedicated and hardworking Astrophysicist tried in all earnest to find the existence of other sentient beings somewhere in the universe. After 58 years of constant effort, he finally receives a response from a planet 30 billion light years away.
"I have been trying this for a very long time, but here goes again..." sounded the tired voice of the extraterrestrial from the other side of the Universe.
"Me too, me too!" exclaimed the Human.
âWhat is your planet like?â groaned the extraterrestrial.
âIt is 12,756 Kilometers in diameter, is 93,000,000 miles from the nearest star, our sun, has an average temperature of 72 degrees F. We breathe oxygen, live about 79 years, and have both male and female members of our species, men and womenâ answered the Physicist.
âDo the you get along with the women on your planet? Do you understand how they think and what they want from you?â the extraterrestrial asked slowly and carefully.
Puzzled by the question, but not wanting to insult the female Physicists near by, he answered âWhy yes. We get along quite well here.â
To which the extraterrestrial perked up tremendously: âFinally! That's what I was looking forward to hearing for so long!! Can we send you ours?â
