Humour

There’s a story about how Albert Einstein was traveling to universities in a chauffeur-driven car delivering lectures on his theory of relativity. One day, while in transit, the chauffeur remarked: “Dr. Einstein, I’ve heard that you deliver that lecture thirty times. I know it by heart and bet I could give it myself.” “Well, I’ll give you the chance,” said Einstein. “They don’t know me at the next college, so when we get there, I’ll put on your cap and introduce yourself as me and give the lecture.” The chauffeur delivered Einstein’s lecture flawlessly. When he finished, he started to leave, but one of the professors stopped him and asked him a complex question filled with mathematical equations and formulas. The chauffeur thought fast. “The solution to that problem is so simple,” he said, “I’m surprised you have to ask me. My chauffeur will answer that for you!”
