Uncertainty Principle Principal

Just catching up on email from yesterday, which was Werner Heisenberg’s birthday:

“Derb—For Heisenberg’s birthday, I thought (although I was not sure) that you would enjoy my favorite Heisenberg joke:   Werner Heisenberg, out for a drive, is stopped for speeding by a policeman.  ’Do you know how fast you were going?!,’ yells the irate cop.  ’No,’ replies Heisenberg, ‘but I know exactly where I am.’” 

[Derb]  Ah, the old jokes are the best ones.  I’m pretty sure of that, anyway.
