Quick wit
Amy1, aka Ottoline, sent me a collection of very good examples of quick wit. Thank you!
Winston Churchill vs. Lady Astor
Groucho Marx vs. a contestant on “You Bet Your Life,” after the contestant revealed that he was a father of 10
Abraham Lincoln vs. Stephen Douglas, after Douglas called him “two-faced” during a debate
Pierre Trudeau vs. Richard Nixon, upon hearing that Nixon had called him an asshole
Oscar Wilde vs. Lewis Morris… Morris had just been passed over for the Poet Laureateship
Miriam Hopkins vs. an anonymous singer
James McNeill Whistler vs. Oscar Wilde, after Whistler
had made a particularly witty observation
Bill Clinton vs. Dan Quayle, after Quayle revealed that he planned to be “a pit bull” in the 1992 campaign
Winston Churchill vs. a Member of Parliament
Calvin Coolidge vs. some random lady at a White House dinner

Ouch!
Here's another wicked joke from our Mrsgunka:
A man got on the bus with both of his front trouser pockets full of golf balls and sat down next to a beautiful (you guessed it) blonde.The puzzled blonde kept looking at him and his bulging pockets.
Finally, after many glances from her, he said, "It's golf balls."
The blonde continued to look at him for a very long time, thinking deeply about what he had said.
After several minutes, not being able to contain her curiosity any longer, she asked,
"Does it hurt as much as tennis elbow ?"
Thank you, Mrsgunka.

Lovely creatures

Thank you, View.

Famous at last!
CC sent me photos of three different hotels, all bearing a very interesting name. Well, considering that Regina means queen in Italian, I can only pretend to be famous!
Thank you, CC. Have a marvelous time!
