Chapter 1: A Comedic Encounter with Joe Pesci

In an unexpected twist, an interviewer finds themselves sitting across from Joe Pesci, the renowned actor, mistakenly thinking he is an astrophysicist.

"Did you really think I was just a comedian?" Pesci quips, eyebrow raised. "I have a Ph.D. in astrophysics!"

QUESTION: I had no idea you were an astrophysicist. I’ve always seen you as just an actor—a very talented one, I must say.

JOE PESCI: What, you think I’m a clown? I’m here to entertain you?

QUESTION: No, no! It’s just surprising. When did you manage to juggle your acting career and earn a doctorate in astrophysics? Why is this news to me now?

JOE PESCI: Maybe you didn't hear it, but I’m not just shining shoes anymore.

QUESTION: No need to get defensive! I truly respect your acting. But how long have you actually been involved with NASA, and could you shed some light on the black hole they've recently discovered?

JOE PESCI: Where do you get the nerve to ask me that?

QUESTION: Come on, Joe. You’re quite knowledgeable. You’re giving me lots of answers but not the right ones. What makes this new black hole discovery in our galaxy noteworthy?

JOE PESCI: I’m not answering that. It’s a foolish question, and frankly, you’re a bit twisted for asking it.

QUESTION: Why did you agree to this interview if you weren’t going to provide straight answers?

JOE PESCI: I heard you’re into home renovations.

QUESTION: With all due respect, I’m struggling to write a positive piece about you. Your cooperation has been lacking.

JOE PESCI: You’ve got me all wrong.

QUESTION: Yes, it seems I misjudged you. I expected insights into astronomy or physics.

JOE PESCI: If they can take out the president, they can take you out too, pal.

QUESTION: What do you mean? I’m just here to discuss this black hole.

JOE PESCI: Hole? I’ll dig it myself. Where are the shovels?

QUESTION: Joe Pesci working at the NRAO? What has the world come to?

JOE PESCI: (pretends to shoot the interviewer). That’s what the world has come to. Like it?

QUESTION: Do you seriously… have nothing to share about… uh… astrophysics? (collapses)

JOE PESCI: Alright, here’s something: Go screw yourself!

(End of Interview)
