"A famous mathematician was to give a keynote speec..." joke

A famous mathematician was to give a keynote speech at a conference. Asked for an advance summary, he said he would present a proof of Fermat`s Last Theorem -- but they should keep it under their hats. When he arrived, though, he spoke on a much more prosaic topic. Afterwards the conference organizers asked why he said he`d talk about the theorem and then didn`t. He replied this was his standard practice, just in case he was killed on the way to the conference.
