         "What do you need such a big instrument for?" asked Einstein's wife.
         "We use it to study the structure of the universe," answered the director of the observatory.
         "Really?" said the lady. "My husband usually does it on the inside of an old envelope."


                                                       Einstein for a Day
          Albert Einstein, one of the world's most brilliant and respected scientists, is best known for formulating the theory
of relativity which played a critical part in the development of atomic energy. What may not be widely known is that
Einstein had a fine sense of humor.
          There is an amusing story about Einstein's visiting universities in a car driven by a chauffeur, giving lectures on
relativity. One day the chauffeur said: "Mr. Einstein, I've heard you give this lecture about 30 times. I know it by heart, and
I am sure I could give it myself." "Well, I'll give you a chance", said Einstein. "They won't recognise me at the school.
When we get there, I'll put on your cap and you introduce yourself as me and give the lecture."
          The chauffeur gave Einstein's lecture without making a single mistake. On finishing, he started to leave, but one of
the professors stopped him to ask a complex question. The chauffeur thought fast. "That problem is so trivial", he said, "I'm
surprised that you have to ask me. In fact, to show you how simple it is, I'm going to ask my chauffeur to come up here and
answer your question."
