Albert Einstein is one of the world's most brilliant and respected scientists. He is known for formulating the theory of relativity, which played a critical role in the development of atomic energy. Einstein had a fine sense of humour.
There's an amusing story about how Einstein was traveling to universities in a chauffeured car, giving lectures on relativity. One day the chauffeur said, "Dr. Einstein, I've heard this lecture about 30 times. I know it by heart, and I bet I could give it myself."
"Well, I'll give you the chance." said Einstein. "They won't recognize me at the school. When we get there I shall put on your cap, and you introduce yourself as me and give the lecture."
The chauffeur gave Einstein's lecture without a single mistake. When he finished, he started to leave, but one of the professors stopped him to ask a complex question. The chauffeur thought fast. "The problem is so simple," he said, "It's a surprise that you're asking. In fact, to show you how simple it is, I'm going to ask my chauffeur to come up here and answer your question."
