Chose Your Weapon

Nine-year-old Aaron came home from the playground with a bloody nose, black eye, and torn clothing.

It was obvious he'd been in a bad fight and lost.

While his father was patching him up, he asked his son what happened.

"Well, Dad," said Aaron, "I challenged Larry to a duel. And, you know, I gave him his choice of weapons."

"Uh-huh," said the father, "that seems fair."

"I know, but I never thought he'd choose his sister!"

Modesty, Pride

In November 1919, shortly after Einstein's theory of relativity was confirmed by observations made from the island of Principe during an eclipse, Sir Arthur Eddington, an early advocate of relativity, was approached by Ludwig Silberstein at a joint meeting of the Royal Society and the Royal Astronomical Society.

"Professor Eddington," Silberstein declared, "you must be one of three persons in the world who understands general relativity."

When Eddington demurred, Silberstein continued, "Don't be modest, Eddington."

"On the contrary," Eddington replied. "I am trying to think who the third person is."
