RANDOM MUSINGS FROM THE TOP OF THE HILL

QUOTATIONS

George Bernard Shaw is one of the most famous of the Irish writers.  He specialized in plays and won the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1925.

You could write a book with the memorable quotations of Shaw.  Here is one of my favorite anecdotes attributed to him.

After a couple of hard days of drinking and carousing, a proper women came upon Shaw and said with turned up nose, "Mr. Shaw, YOU SMELL."  Wrong thing to say to a master of the English language with a wicked Irish wit.  He replied, "Madam, you smell and I stink!"

The next time I correct your English, forgive me.  I'm Irish and I can't help myself.
^O^
