Just a Bit More on Groucho


Here are a few classic quotes from Groucho Marx, just to finish off Tuesday's bit of tribute and to head into the weekend with the proper attitude:

Ice Water? Get some Onions - that'll make your eyes water.

Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read.

From the moment I picked your book up until I laid it down I was convulsed with laughter. Someday I intend reading it.

Why don't you go home to your wife? Better yet, I'll go home to your wife, and outside of the improvement, she won't notice any difference.

I read in the newspapers they are going to have 30 minutes of intellectual stuff on television every Monday from 7.30 to 8.00 to educate America. They couldn't educate America if they started at 6:30.

My brother thinks he's a chicken - we don't talk him out of it because we need the eggs.

We must remember that art is art.
Well, on the other hand water is water isn't it?
And east is east and west is west.
And if you take cranberries and stew them like applesause
they taste much more like prunes than rubarb does.

A couple of years ago, I posted an image of the original Seuss illustration as compared to the TV cartoon image, and for some reason, that post is bringing in the crowds, relatively. Maybe it's the weather. It isn't even November yet, and already we've had frost and have had to dust off our winter coats. When it gets cold like this, I start to think about Christmasy things like listening to Nat King Cole and decorating the tree. It's ironic because I am offended when retailers start pushing holiday stuff early, but I don't mind my own private celebrations.
