    Einstein

    When Albert Einstein was making the rounds of the speaker's circuit,
    he usually found himself eagerly longing to get back to his laboratory
    work. One night as they were driving to yet another dinner, Einstein
    mentioned to his chauffeur (a man who somewhat resembled Einstein in
    looks & manner) that he was tired of speechmaking.

    "I have an idea, boss," his chauffeur said. "I've heard you give this
    speech so many times, I'll bet I could give it for you."

    Einstein laughed loudly and said, "Why not? Let's do it!"

    When they arrived at the dinner, Einstein donned the chauffeur's cap
    and jacket and sat in the back of the room. The chauffeur gave a
    beautiful rendition of Einstein's speech and even answered a few
    questions expertly.

    Then a supremely pompous professor asked an extremely esoteric
    question about antimatter formation, digressing here and there to let
    everyone in the audience know that he was nobody's fool.

    Without missing a beat, the chauffeur fixed the professor with a
    steely stare and said, "Sir, the answer to that question is so simple
    that I will let my chauffeur, who is sitting in the back, answer it
    for me."

    Re: Einstein

    A classic story well told. Albert enjoyed sailing a small yacht as a respite from lecturing, and strange as it sounds, an anti-relativity political party was formed in opposition to his famous theory.
    I have a PhD in Nothing for presenting a thesis on Nothing and proving that:
    "it is impossible for nothing to exist because if it did then it would be something!"
