Einstein was once traveling from Princeton on a train when
the conductor came down the aisle, punching the tickets of
every passenger. When he came to Einstein, Einstein reached
in his vest pocket. He couldn't find his ticket, so he
reached in his trouser pockets. It wasn't there, so he
looked in his briefcase but couldn't find it. Then he
looked in the seat beside him. He still couldn't find it.
The conductor said, 'Dr. Einstein, I know who you are. We
all know who you are. I'm sure you bought a ticket. Don't
worry about it.'
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.
The conductor rushed back and said, 'Dr. Einstein, Dr.
Einstein, don't worry, I know who you are. No problem. You
don't need a ticket. I'm sure you bought one.'
Einstein looked at him and said, 'Young man, I too, know who
I am. What I don't know is where I'm going.'
