Fwd: Fw: The Great (funny) Albert Einstein Stories...!!

Einstein said, "What I admire most about your art, is its
universality. You do not say a word, and yet ... the world understands
you."
" It's true," replied Charlie Chaplin, "But your fame is even greater:
The world admires you, when nobody understands you."


Charlie Chaplin with Albert Einstein.


The Great Albert Einstein Stories

(1) One day during a speaking tour, Albert Einstein's driver,
who often sat at the back of the hall during his lectures, remarked
that he could probably give the lecture himself, having heard it so
many times. Sure enough, at the next stop on the tour, Einstein and
the driver switched places, with Einstein sitting at the back in his
driver's uniform. Having delivered a flawless lecture, the driver was
asked a difficult question by a member of the audience. "Well, the
answer to that question is quite simple," he casually replied. "I bet
my driver, sitting up at the back there, could answer it!"


(2) Albert Einstein's wife often suggested that he dress more
professionally when he headed off to work. "Why should I?" he would
invariably argue. "Everyone knows me there." When the time came for
Einstein to attend his first major conference, she begged him to dress
up a bit. "Why should I?" said Einstein. "No one knows me there!"



(3) Albert Einstein was often asked to explain the general theory
of relativity. "Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it
seems like an hour," he once declared. "Sit with a pretty girl for an
hour, and it seems like a minute. That's relativity!"



(4) When Albert Einstein was working in Princeton university, one
day he was going back home he forgot his home address. The driver of
the cab did not recognize him. Einstein asked the driver if he knows
Einstein's home. The driver said "Who does not know Einstein's
address? Everyone in Princeton knows.Do you want to meet him?.
Einstein replied "I am Einstein. I forgot my home address, can you
take me there? "The driver reached him to his home and did not even
collect his fare from him.


(5) Einstein was once traveling from Princeton on a train when
the conductor came down the aisle, punching the tickets of every
passenger. When he came to Einstein, Einstein reached in his vest
pocket. He couldn't find his ticket, so he reached in his trouser
pockets. It wasn't there, so he looked in his briefcase but couldn't
find it. Then he looked in the seat beside him. He still couldn't find
it.

The conductor said, 'Dr. Einstein, I know who you are. We all know who
you are. I'm sure you bought a ticket. Don't worry about it.' Einstein
nodded appreciatively. The conductor continued down the aisle punching
tickets. As he was ready to move to the next car, he turned around and
saw the great physicist down on his hands and knees looking under his
seat for his ticket.

The conductor rushed back and said, 'Dr. Einstein, Dr. Einstein, don't
worry, I know who you are. No problem. You don't need a ticket. I'm
sure you bought one.' Einstein looked at him and said, 'Young man, I
too, know who I am. What I don't know is where I'm going.'
