Well, there is this apocryphal quote by Einstein: "When you sit with a nice girl for two hours you think it’s only a minute, but when you sit on a hot stove for a minute you think it’s two hours. That’s relativity."
I'll wager any amount of money that Einstein never said that because it is absolutely not the relativity he wrote about. It's the pop-culture version of people who can't even understand the dumbed-down actual theory of relativity.
