Isaac Newton is sitting under a tree one day...
... when something falls out of the tree and hits him on the head.
He picks up the fallen object and examines it, then declares, “Why, some invisible force must have pulled this apple to the ground!”
A passerby overhears the famed scientist, then mutters, “Fucking idiot doesn’t know one fruit from another,” before shouting, “Hey! That’s a fig, Newton!”
Caught my dad off-guard with this one.
My dad was watering a few young fig trees and wondered why some of them weren't growing as fast. I responded with, "I guess it's something you really should FIGure out." A chuckle was had by my dad, which is all that counted.
