This one is from Jane Austen.
While driving down a country road, a Nobel scientist saw a farmer standing in the middle of a huge field. He pulled over, walked out to the farmer and said, “What are you doing?”
The farmer replied, “Trying to win the Nobel Prize.”
“How?” the scientist asked.
“Well, I heard they are giving the Nobel Prize to
people who are out standing in their field.”
Why not? Obungler got a Nobel Prize because he wasn’t George Bush.
