The screenwriter sat in the office of a producer to pitch an idea for a movie. "A mathematician!" the latter shouted. "Who wants to see a movie about a mathematician?" "Well," said the writer, "The Movie, A Beautiful Mind, was very successful." "Oh, yeah, that was the biopic of John Nash, who won a Nobel Prize in Economics. But he was touched in the head, and that made him interesting." 'The guy I have in mind makes Nash look like as normal as a quadratic equation."
