George Coyne S.J. on Astronomer

	An astronomer is like the poor old fellow who, while making his way home in the dark and a bit tipsy, loses his watch. While he is searching for it under a lamp post, a gallant policeman comes along and enquires about his activity. He explains that he is looking for his watch. "Well," says the cop, "did you lose it here?" "Oh no," says he, "but it's so dark all around that this is the only place with light enough that I could possibly find it." —George Coyne S.J.
