When the Albert Einsteins visited the U.S. for the first time, they were given a dinner by the New York Times.  A corsage for Mrs. Einstein from the host arrived late, so the liaison placed the two orchids on her plate, expecting her to put them on herself.

Mrs. Einstein, however, was nearsighted and couldn’t clearly see what was on her plate.  She also couldn’t see what the other people around her were doing.  Assuming that what was placed on her plate was an hors d’oeuvre, she began to eat it.  A waiter noticed and quickly removed the orchids, but not before some of them had been eaten.

This caused a big commotion behind the scenes. Someone called a hospital and asked whether eating an orchid was likely to hurt anyone. The reason for the inquiry was considered confidential information and was not disclosed. But the hospital had no recorded data on the subject and could not provide an answer.

Mrs. Einstein enjoyed a healthy life until her natural death some years later. Thus, Mrs. Einstein, who never knew that she had eaten part of an orchid and the big commotion it had caused, ultimately knew what the great hospital did not – the answer to the question, Will Mrs. Einstein be all right after eating an orchid?”

(This story is about a dinner party that took place in 1921. The Mrs. Einstein in this story was Albert Einstein’s second wife, Elsa Einstein.)
