(quoted from The Thesis of the Absent-Minded Master)
- I am a mathematician, and I go into a new journey, to gather
material for my thesis. And once I return and get a Master degree...
- What degree? - I asked - Master's? But it's not granted in our
country for a long time already.
- Even better - the stranger said in a care-free manner, - then I'll
be the only Master of these... what are they called.. yes, absent
minded sciences! I mean no. Sorry, sometimes I'm a terrible
mathematician... No, I mean, sometimes I am terribly absent-minded.
But very rarely.
