absent minded Norbert Wiener
Norbert Wiener was very absent minded. When they moved from Cambridge to Newton; his wife was certain that he would forget that they had moved.So she wrote down the new address on a piece of paper, and gave it to him.
In the course of the day, he threw the paper away. As he went home (to the old address in Cambridge, of course),he realized that they had moved,and that the piece of paper with the address was long gone.
There was a young girl on the steps and he thought of asking her, saying, "Excuse me young lady, perhaps you know me. I'm Norbert Wiener and we've just moved. Would you know where we've moved to?"
To which the young girl replied, "Yes Daddy... mommy said this would happen.."
