When Albert
Einstein died, he met three New Zealanders in the queue outside the Pearly
Gates. To pass the time, he asked what were their IQs. The first replied 190.
"Wonderful," exclaimed Einstein. "We can discuss the
contribution made by Ernest Rutherford to atomic physics and my theory of
general relativity". The second answered 150. "Good," said
Einstein. "I look forward to discussing the role of New Zealand's
nuclear-free legislation in the quest for world peace". The third New
Zealander mumbled 50. Einstein paused, and then asked, "So what is your
forecast for the budget deficit next year?"
