INTELLIGENCE IN DISGUISE

This man used to drive him to all of his lectures, listen patiently in the back row, and then drive him home.

One day, Einstein was asked to give a lecture at a small college that he had never visited before. Having given the lecture many times before, he confessed to his driver, “Gosh I am so tired of giving this lecture. No one knows me here. I am sure this will be a waste of my time.”

The driver immediately responded, “Why sir, I have heard this lecture a thousand times. Let me give it, and you can rest in the back row.” Einstein consented.

The lecture goes swimmingly. However, right as the driver is walking offstage, a professor proceeds to ask him a question that is so hopelessly complex that few can comprehend it, let alone answer it.

The driver, without missing a beat, gestures to Einstein, decked out in full chauffeur attire, and proclaims, “Why that question is so simple, I will let my driver answer it!”
