⚡️🇷🇺 Vladimir Putin discussed with nuclear scientists how to choose a wife. Putin: "Good luck to you in your study of neutrinos!" Scientist: "And in search of a wife." Putin: "It is not known what is more important. No, I’m not joking: you come across some girl who’s not very keen on science, and what will you do? You’ll forget about neutrinos, right?" Scientist: "I found a formula: there must be a wife who is an architect." Putin: "Why an architect?" Scientist: "It’s like a person of art. You know, a building has a soul, and the architect breathes life into it. She must feel the beauty of the universe. In the same way a physicist and mathematician feels this beauty of the universe." Putin: "She must think in images. I see. You know what, just as your institution should not be limited to some kind of stereotypes, you too - do not limit yourself to the stereotypes that she must be an architect, and that’s it. Otherwise you will run into some kind of wall. Select a person who thinks in images, and this can be a person from a variety of professions." Scientist: "Okay, Vladimir Vladimirovich, I’ll take it into account and write it down." Putin: “No, no, it’s only your choice”. 8 Likes
