One time when I was in school I was seated in the office of my advisor, a brilliant and funny physicist.  In the middle of one of his sentences something on his whiteboard distracted him.  It looked much like this:

A, B, π-0

He started thinking out loud: “A, B, and pi-zero … A, B, and pi-zero … what was I doing?  Was I working on quantum mechanics?  What was … Wait!  That’s not a pi-zero!  That’s a goat!”  The professor had been explaining the “Monty Hall Problem” to a student earlier in the day.
