TSA Questions Scientist Trying to Bring His Nobel Prize Through Security:
“They’re like, ‘Sir, there’s something in your bag.’ I said, ‘Yes, I think it’s this box.’
“They said, ‘What’s in the box?’ I said, ‘a large gold medal,’ as one does.
“So they opened it up and they said, ‘What’s it made out of?’ I said, ‘gold.’ And they’re like, ‘Uhhhh. Who gave this to you?’ ‘The King of Sweden.’ ‘Why did he give this to you?’ ‘Because I helped discover the expansion rate of the universe was accelerating.’
“At which point, they were beginning to lose their sense of humour. I explained to them it was a Nobel Prize, and their main question was, ‘Why were you in Fargo?’”
