One month later Sheldon met up with Professor Winkle for his scheduled monthly scientific discussion. They had a great time talking about Sheldon's research, which was rudely interrupted by the intercom after 45 minutes.
"Yes Rebecca, what is it."
"Sorry to disturb you Professor but you have a meeting with Professor Gablehauser in 15 minutes."
"You heard the lady Sheldon, thanks for that, it was fun to remember I am still a scientist."
"Thank you Leslie, it was good to discuss things with you, I have got more ideas for my research."
"I have a suggestion, in a few months why not give a departmental seminar on your work, see if anyone else can help."
"I will think about that."
"OK, time for us both to go, off to see my predecessor. See you next month Dumbass."

Four months later Sheldon gave a departmental seminar on a Wednesday afternoon, only a dozen physics researchers turned up but they had quite a lively discussion afterwards. After it was all over Sheldon had a private chat with Leslie and Dr. Kripke.
"Thanks for the suggestion to give a seminar, that was interesting although only you appeared really understand things Professor Winkle. Still you asked some good questions Dr. Kripke. I might try this again in a few months, see if anyone else can understand."
Leslie replied "A good way to almost end the day, I have a bit of paperwork to do back in my office and then I am done for the day."
"I am finished for the day, it is new Comic Book night."
"Barry and I have a date tonight."
"Well you two kids have fun."
"Bye Coopah."
"See you next month Dumbass."
