Abstract
This article is a spoof on the History of Science and consists of four skits depicting the difficulties famous men and women in science might have had in fictional interviews while seeking funding for their research. Although they may provoke humor, the interviews are, if not literally true, at least plausible and the intent is pedagogical. It is hoped that students' interest may be aroused concerning the history of science and that the problem of funding for research in areas with no obvious or immediate practical applications will be discussed.
