George Stigler and the Nobel
I came across this one tonight. I havent been able to verify whether its apocryphal or not. I can only hope Stigler did actually say it :)
"George Stigler, Nobel laureate and a leader of Chicago School was asked why there were no Nobel Prizes awarded in the other social sciences, sociology, psychology, history, etc. "Don't worry", Stigler said, "they have already have a Nobel Prize in ...Literature"
