A physicist with an idea for research was asking the college board for funds.

The chairman responded: "Your proposal sounds really interesting, but it's way too expensive for this college. This is the problem we always have with physicists, they bring promising projects that we could never afford. I wish you were more like mathematicians. They come once every September asking for a notebook, a pencil and an eraser and that keeps them working all year round. Or like philosophers. They just ask for a notebook and a pencil."
