When Albert Einstein was making the rounds of the speakers 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. Ive heard you give this speech so many times, Ill bet I could give it for you. Einstein laughed loudly and said, Why not? Lets do it! When they arrived at the dinner, Einstein donned the chauffeurs cap and jacket and sat in the back of the room. The chauffeur gave a beautiful rendition of Einsteins 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 nobodys 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.
