One day, Albert Einstein has to give a speech at an important science conference.

On the way there, he tells his driver that looks a bit like him: "I'm sick of all these conferences. I always say the same things over and over!"
The driver agrees: "You're right. As your driver, I attended all of them, and even though I don't know anything about science, I could give the conference in your place."
"That's a great idea!" says Einstein. "Let's switch places then!"
So they switch clothes and as soon as they arrive, the driver dressed as Einstein goes on stage and starts giving the usual speech, while the real Einstein, dressed as the car driver, attends it.
But in the crowd, there is one scientist who wants to impress everyone and thinks of a very difficult question to ask Einstein, hoping he won't be able to respond. So this guy stands up and interrupts the conference by posing his very difficult question. The whole room goes silent, holding their breath, 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 reply to it for me."

Albert Einstein was a great man, but his brother Frank was a monster.
Albert Einstein was having a fight with his wife. She said, "I just need two things. I need space, and time." Einstein answered, "Okay, and what's the second thing?"

I'm not sure how to feel about the Oxford comma here!

I didn't know Albert Einstein was a real person, I always thought he was a theoretical physicist......

Cheers, fellow 'Einstein Joke #273' enjoyer. I too remember this joke fondly and share it on happy occasions, as my Father and his Father before me did.

I believe this joke was found on the walls of Ramses tomb.

Einstein wasn't quite that old.

That's because you don't understand the idea of relativity. Here, let my driver educate you.

I hadn't realized that you were related.

I thought #273 was reserved for a Kelvin joke.

Ah, but the absence of the .15 disqualifies it...
ThePowerOfStories@reddit
That tiny difference really is integral to understanding the joke.

I’m thinking if Rankine them differently.

The driver’s name? Albert Einstein.

I just found out Albert Einstein was a real person.
I always thought he was a theoretical physicist.

"Wait," said the driver, "Haven't we done this joke before?"
"That depends on your choice of reference frame," said Einstein.

An Amish man was driving his horse-drawn cart when he arrived at a tollbooth. He asked the toll operator if the toll only applied to motor vehicles, and was told that it applied to all vehicles. So the Amish guy goes back a ways, puts his horse in the driver’s seat, puts himself in the harness, and goes back to the toll booth. The operator asks him for the toll, and the Amish guy says “talk to the driver”
