Forthisreason I will propose ProfesorAntoniadisasanAmbassadorof Science on behalfof the UN with a specialmission. Actuallyitisnowadayswellknownthatthere are severalundervelopedcountriesthatneed help fromcitizensof more civilizedcountriestoobtainbetter life conditions and more democracy. Forthisreason the missionof the newAmbassadorwillbetoask people from the civilizedMaghrebwhosuccessfullygotridoftheirdictatorstoteachto the undervelopedEuropeancountries (and notonlyEuropean) howtogetridoftheirhorriblegovernments. Have a goodluck!” Congratulations - I
President Obama issayingthat the American dreamisstillalive. “Nowthat I am the Presidentof the UnitedStates, I ampromotingfundamental and appliedresearchbyfundingresearchesto top levelscientistsallover the world. I acknowledge Professor Antoniadisasoneof the top scientistswhocontributedto the growthof so manyyoungresearchers. On the other side I regretthatuntilnowheshowed a clearpreferenceforEuropeancollaborations. Therefore in orderto motivate Professor Antoniadisto collaborate in the future withour American scientists, I can guaranteehim a full immersion intoouroriginalAmercan style, with free McDonald insteadofNeapolitan pizza. Welcome to US! Congratulations - II
“Dear Professor Antoniadis, itis a pleasureto me to celebrate you on thisspecialoccasion. I amvery happy of the excellentcooperationwith the Italiangroupfrom Napoli, eventhough so doingyoumissed the wonderful atmosphere (bothhuman and meteorological) of the most beautiful town in the world, Milan. Youweremy best student, you are the scientistwho best put intopracticemyideas (in factasyouknow I am in closerelationshipwithGod and forthisreason I knoweverything in anyfield). I willneedyour help in calculatingwhatis the probabilitythat I go intojail. Frommy side I’llinviteyoutomy house in Arcore for a week tohaveaninnocentbunga-bunga party. Please do not take yourwifewithyou”. Congratulations - III
