Eugene d'Albert, a noted German composer, was married six times.
At an evening reception which he attended with his fifth wife shortly
after their wedding, he presented the lady to a friend who said politely,
"Congratulations, Herr d'Albert; you have rarely introduced me to so
charming a wife."
You mean you didn't know she was off making lots of little phone companies?
The world really isn't any worse. It's just that the news coverage
is so much better.
