Comedian Red Skelton was once on a plane flying high over Europe. As the aircraft approached the Swiss Alps, three of its four engines suddenly failed. The plane began rapidly losing altitude, and passengers began praying for their lives.

Skelton jumped up from his seat and began performing one of his funniest routines to distract the passengers from seemingly imminent death. At the last minute, the pilot found a flat area between the mountains and managed a hair-raising landing that left everyone safe and sound.

As the plane came to a stop, Skelton finished his act by saying, "Now, ladies and gentlemen, you may return to all the evil habits you gave up 20 minutes ago."

At the end of his route one day, a school bus driver noticed a young boy still on board. Thinking the child had missed his stop, the driver reversed his route as he headed back to the school, telling the boy to let him know when they reached his neighborhood. The boy sat quietly but said nothing as they passed house after house.

When they reached the school again, the worried driver asked the child for his address. The little boy pointed to a house right across the street. "That's where I live," he said. "I just always wanted to ride the bus once."

American mathematician Norbert Wiener (1894-1964) had a reputation for being a little absent-minded. According to one story, when his family moved to a new Massachusetts home, his wife insisted on supervising every detail of the move because she couldn't depend on Wiener to remember the important details-like their new address.

Wiener went to work on the day of the move with a piece of paper his wife had given him; on it was written his new address. During the course of the day he used the paper to work out an equation, and then discarded it. At the end of the day Wiener returned home to his old address, now an empty house.

At the door he suddenly remembered that his family had moved, but he had no idea where his new home was. Spotting a little girl riding her bike down the street, he called out, "Excuse me, I'm professor Norbert Wiener and I've just moved. Would you by any chance know what my new address is?"

The young girl replied, "Hi, Daddy! Mom said you'd forget."
