When Albert Einstein was making the rounds of the speakers circuit he usually found himself eager to get back. 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 speechmaking.
I have an idea boss he said: I've heard you give this speech so many times, I bet I could give it for you! Einstein laughed out loud and said Why not? Lets do it! When they arrived at the dinner Einstein donned the chauffuers cap and jacket and sat in the back of the room. The chauffer gave a beautiful rendition of Einsteins speech and even answered a few questions expertly.
Then a supremely pompous proffessor 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 chauffer fixed the proffessor 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"
