Einstein’s chauffeur

When Albert Einstein was 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 rubber-chicken dinner, Einstein mentioned to his chauffeur (a man who somewhat resembled Einstein in looks and manner) that he was tired of making speeches.

“I have and 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.”

  3. I seriously hope you don’t think this is true, because it never happened.

  4. Photoshopped.

  5. Dionysus:
    Get a life!! Who cares if it’s true or not?
    The point here is that the story is funny. Period.

  6. Obviously it didn’t happen. It’s a joke, and it’s funny. -laughs-

  7. Good one

  8. Ha ha! Revisionist history.

  9. I have heard this one before. Only the character was not Einstein but Dr.Christian Bernard, the person who performed the first open heart surgery.

  10. haha very funny.

    btw
    you were stumbled upon =]

    have a good day

  11. Yeah, this was just before he appeared in command and conquer red alert.

  12. I liked this very much. A thumbs up for you on stumbleupon!

  13. Funny stuff :)

    Not true of course (so next time you see someone quote this as fact you may feel free to call them idiots), however, great joke

  14. Si non è vero on April 29th, 2008 at 9:08 pm

    Who cares whether it’s true or not, it’s still a good one and worth a laugh - which is what this world needs more of.

  20. Lets think to ourselves for a moment before we post. This is an anecdote. A funny story. Not necessarily to be taken literally. It is a joke. I for one, think that by creating the possibility of it having really happened, the author has brightened our lives. Oh that Einstein was such a kidder.

  21. Thumbs UP !!

  22. My chauffeur laughed at this one! ;-)

  23. @Dionysus
    It’s funny when people think others are stupid because they themselves are too dumb to understand.

  29. Have heard several different versions, but always good for a laugh.

  30. I love it great blog and great Einstein story

    Paul

  31. Hahaha, great! I don’t care if it’s true or not, witty anecdotes just make me laugh.

  32. Who care’s if this is true or not.
    Really fun.

  33. i don´t remember if this story is true…

  34. thumbs up, good one :)

  35. For those who are saying “I hope its true” the giveaway is that Einstien wanted “to get back to his laboratory work”. As he was a theoretical physicist, he didn’t have a lab.

  36. STUMBLED!!!! very funny

  37. It’s a hoax. Never happened.

  38. Very nice indeed! Stumbler here- I like it!

  39. Ha haha ha ha! very witty indeed! NOT!

  40. He was just smart enough for that to have worked

  41. veeery nice…. thumbs up

  42. Hey dude, I checked the facts and there were no cars invented by that time anyway. So unless he was a go-cart chauffeur then its just not possibly true!

  43. funny enuff for me. And a big thumbs up!!!

  44. Cars were not invented in the time of Einstein? No Einstein yourself, are you, SupaW
