The Nobel Prize

A chemist was driving along when he realised he had lost his way. He pulled into a gateway where he saw a man standing in a field. The chemist looked at his map but still could not work out where he was. The man continued to stand in the field. The chemist called to the man 'Can you tell me where I am?”. The man, who it turned out was the farmer, came over and said to the chemist that he was disturbing something very important because the farmer was waiting for a Nobel Prize. The chemist thought this curious so asked the man how could this be. The farmer responded that as he understood it, a Nobel Prize was awarded to someone who was outstanding in his own field!
