A man is driving down a country road when he spots a farmer standing in
the middle of a huge field of grass. He pulls the car over to the side of the road and
notices that the farmer is just standing there, doing nothing, looking at nothing.
The man gets out of the
car, walks all the way out to the farmer and asks him, "Ah excuse me mister, but what
are you doing?"
The farmer replies,
"I'm trying to win a Nobel Prize."
"How?" asks the
man, puzzled.
"Well I heard they
give the Nobel Prize to people who are out standing in their field."
