Dr. Feynman, immersed in his physics research, often took breaks to entertain those around him with anecdotes. One day, amidst a group of young researchers during a break from experiments, he remarked, "You know, folks, I feel like my old joke has worn out its welcome lately."
"Which one, Dr. Feynman?" one of them asked.
"You know, the one where I say, 'I'm always fine-man, you know,'" Feynman replied with a grin.
His colleagues chuckled, but one piped up, "But, Dr. Feynman, it's still funny!"
"Is it?" Feynman mused. "Well then, let me tell you one of my favorite stories instead."
He settled into his chair, the group eagerly awaiting his tale.
"Once, I was chatting physics with a friend at a café. When the waiter came to take our order, my friend asked for a hot beverage, so I said to the waiter, 'He's always hot, and I'm always cold. So, a hot coffee for him, and an iced tea for me, please.'"
The researchers stifled their laughter as Feynman continued.
"The waiter, oblivious to my jest, went off to fulfill the order. But a few minutes later, he returned, saying, 'Sorry, we're out of iced tea, but we have hot tea.' That's when I told him, 'It's okay, I'm always good with iced or hot.'"
The group erupted into laughter, and Feynman joined in, his humor and wit never failing to brighten their day.
