My favorite Fermi story is the one about him startling a number of his co-workers at Los Alamos by suddenly demanding, "Where is everybody?!" in the middle of lunch - apropos of a conversation they'd had some time before about the probability of extraterrestrial intelligent life, and not of what everyone around him was actually talking about at that moment.
