    Default Einstein's Theorem

    Back before he became an instantly recognized celebrity, when Albert
    Einstein was first 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 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 arrive 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 anti-matter 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."

    Default Chicken or Egg?

    I heard the one about the preacher and his wagon-driver only a few weeks ago, but now I wonder, which came first?

    Good one, either way.

    Yeah Joe
    I heard it last week about Morris Iemma - but that was beyond probability - the driver would be the only intelligent one involved.

    Apparently another "adjustable" joke. When I heard the one about the preacher and the wagon driver, I sought the origin, but all I got was a bunch of hits regarding the movie "Buck and the Preacher," without a clue to the joke itself. So today I Googled [einstein chauffeur preacher "wagon driver"]. That list came up very dry. When reduced to [einstein chauffeur], the first hit was this: http://www.snopes.com/humor/jokes/chauffeur.asp

    I'll guess the movie borrowed it from one of the older versions, or the Einstein version.

    One good thing about electing idiots to office, is they provide so much material for comic relief.
