One day a man is driving down a country road when he sees a farmer standing in the middle of a large field. The farmer is doing nothing and looking at nothing.

The man gets out of his car, walks down all the way out to the farmer and says, "Excuse me sir, but what are you doing?"

The farmer replies, "I'm trying to win a Nobel Prize."

"But how?" asks the man, confused.

"Well, I heard they give the Nobel Prize to people who are outstanding in their field."
