    One day, Einstein has to speak at a science conference. On the way there, he tells his driver who looks like him, 'I'm sick of all these conferences. I always say the same things over and over.'

    The driver agrees. 'You're right. I've attended all of them. And even though I don't know anything about science, I could give the conference in your place.'

The whole room goes silent, waiting for the response.

    The driver looks at him, dead in the eye, and says, 'Sir, your question is so easy to answer that I'm going to let my driver answer it for me.'
