He couldn\u2019t find his ticket, so he reached into his trouser pockets. It wasn\u2019t there, so he looked in his briefcase but couldn\u2019t find it. Then he looked in the seat beside him. He still couldn\u2019t find it.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-3\"><\/div>\n<p>The conductor said, \u201cDr. Einstein, I know who you are. We all know who you are. I\u2019m sure you bought a ticket. Don\u2019t worry about it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>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.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-4\"><\/div>\n<p>The conductor rushed back and said, \u201cDr. Einstein, Dr. Einstein, don\u2019t worry, I know who you are. No problem. You don\u2019t need a ticket. I\u2019m sure you bought one.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Einstein looked at him and said, \u201cYoung man, I, too, know who I am.

Why don\u2019t you take the night off and let me deliver the talk this evening?\u2019 Einstein agreed.<\/p>\n<p>When they arrived at the venue, Einstein put on the chauffeur\u2019s uniform and hat, and sat at the back of the hall while the chauffeur took his place on the podium, effortlessly delivering the speech, then inviting the audience to ask questions.<\/p>\n<p>He convincingly answered the first few, but then one pompous man stood up and asked a very difficult question on his theories of relativity.<\/p>\n<p>The chauffeur was flummoxed, but calmly said, \u2018This question is very easy. I will let my chauffeur answer it.\u2019<\/p>\n<div class=\"fpm_end\"><\/div>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-15\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Einstein was once traveling from Princeton on a train when the conductor came down the aisle, punching the tickets of every passenger.
