Much has been written about the genius of Albert Einstein.
What makes everyone believe Einstein was so smart? Yeah, there’s that theory but really what else? Do you think the guy could have changed a tire in the middle of a busy interstate 95? Do you think him capable of getting that cork out of the wine bottle after it’s fallen in? Now that’s smart.
And what’s with all of the negative connotation associated with his name? You’ve just locked your keys in the car and your partner says to you, "Way to go Einstein!" Or "Smooth move. You’re a regular Albert Einstein!" As opposed to an irregular Einstein? What’s that suppose to mean? And did you ever wonder what might have happened had Einstein ever locked his keys in the car? Like what kind of response he would get from his partner. Can you imagine? "Way to go Einstein?" Who knows? Maybe that’s where it originated.
Ever hear the one about Albert crossing the campus lawn when someone ask’s him "Where are you off to?" Albert replies, "I’m either going to lunch or coming from lunch?" Woe, that’s genius? Ever forget to have lunch? How dumb is that? Never once in my entire life has that happened. Does that make me smarter than Albert? No. That just makes me larger.
Can you see Einstein on the game show Password where it’s all about word association?
"The clue is MC."
Albert: "squared."
"No we were actually looking for Hammer. It’s not always about you Albert!"
Perhaps he might have done better on Jeopardy. He was Jewish after all; everything in the form of a question.
Albert: "I’ll take Auschwitz for 100."
"The clue is they liberated Auschwitz."
Albert: "What? We should be grateful the Russians finally showed up?"
"Actually we were looking for who are the Russians? But since your answer was technically in the form of a question we will allow it."
So he discovered the theory of relativity. So what. You know what would be an even bigger discovery? How about discovering the theory of relatives? For instance, it is a known fact Einstein married his cousin. His cousin! Ever attend a wedding where you couldn’t be certain but wondered whether the bride and groom were already related. Pretty creepy right?
Everything’s relative.
Here’s a news flash for you. Einstein’s dead. How smart is that? Want some sound advice? Don’t be so smart. You’ll end up dead.
