Einstein and the Driver

• Albert Einstein was traveling around the
  universities in a car giving lectures on his
  theory of relativity.
• One day, while on the way to a university, the
  driver said, Dr Einstein, Ive heard you giving
  the lecture 30 times, I know it by heart, and I
  am sure I can give it myself.
• Very well. Ill give you a chance, said
  Einstein, They dont know me at the next
  university. When we get there, Ill put on your
  hat, and you introduce yourself as me, and give
  the lecture.

• The driver recited Einsteins lecture without
  making any mistakes at the university. But when
  he finished and started to leave, one of the
  professors stopped him and asked him a very
  complex problem. The driver thought fast. The
  solution to this is so simple. He said, that
  Im surprised you have to ask me. In fact, to
  show you how simple it is, Ill ask my driver to
  come here and answer it for you.
