Surely apocrapful, but here’s Einstein’s number:

A reporter interviewed Albert
Einstein. At the end of the interview,
the reporter asked if he could have
Einstein’s phone number so he could
call if he had further questions.

“Certainly” replied Einstein. He
picked up the phone directory and
looked up his phone number, then wrote
it on a slip of paper and handed it to
the reporter.

Dumbfounded, the reporter said, “You
are considered to be the smartest man
in the world and you can’t remember
your own phone number?”

Einstein replied, “Why should I
memorize something when I know where
to find it?”
