The Dancers at Santa Cruz University
Then Santa Cruz is another funny story. Funniest! I went there. A professor of philosophy wanted to introduce me, and an Indian professor wanted to introduce me. He said, "I am an Indian. I have the right." The other one said, "No, I am a professor of philosophy. Whatever he says is philosophical." Then they had a fight.At the beginning, the professor of philosophy was supposed to introduce me. He was introducing me. While he was introducing me, very nicely nothing happened. Alas, when I went to speak, boys and girls, two at a time, started dancing in front of me. They had flowers. Like that, four or five were dancing. They would not allow me to talk. They were dancing together right in front of me. They would not allow me to talk. They started dancing. When the professor introduced me, nothing happened. Then when I was supposed to give my talk, they started dancing. Santa Cruz was the worst. See how bad they were.
