When Einstein became a celebrity from his theory of relativity, Marilyn
wrote him a letter that went this way:
'Dear Sir: I am Marilyn Monroe and, just like you, also a celebrity.
Considering the status we are in, I would propose marriage between us.
Your brains and my good looks would surely make a wonderful offspring.
Sincerely yours, Marilyn.'
In his usual calm and no frills way, Einstein wrote back this way:
'Dear Ma'am: I find your offer most flattering. One point of
consideration though that is giving me sleepless nights is the question,
'Suppose our children will have my looks and your brains, then what?'
Sincerely yours, Albert
