Isaac Newton was so interested in different problems that he became quite absent-minded. One day a gentleman came to see him, but he was told that Isaak Newton was busy in his study and that nobody was allowed to disturb him.
As it was dinner time, the visitor sat down in the dining room waiting for the scientist. The servant came in and placed on the table a boiled chicken under a cover. An hour passed but Newton hadn't appeared. The gentleman felt really hungry. After he ate the chicken, he covered up the skeleton. He asked the servant to prepare another one for his master.
Before the second chicken was cooked, however, the scientist entered the room and apologized for his delay. Then he added, “As I feel rather tired and hungry, I hope you will excuse me a little longer, while I will be taking my dinner, then I will be at your service.” With these words he lifted the cover, and without emotion turned round to the gentleman and said, “See how strange scientists can be. I quite forgot that I have dined already.”
