Wednesday Wickedness: Groucho Marx

Hi and welcome to Wednesday Wickedness!

We are like other memes in that we will ask you ten questions each and every Wednesday.  But our little "twist" is that each week we will pick a famous person and pick ten of their quotes.  Each of our questions will be based on the quotes.  Got it?  Great!  Let's begin this week's meme!

Today we picked Groucho Marx.
Here's Wednesday Wickedness!



1. 'A black cat crossing your path signifies that the animal is going somewhere."

What is a superstition that many have that you think is crazy?

ALL superstitions are crazy!

(Except ‘step on a crack’ – that’s real!)



2. "A hospital bed is a parked taxi with the meter running."

What were you in the hospital for the last time that you were admitted?

I’ve only spent the night in a hospital once.  It was in Windsor, Canada, after getting into a street fight and getting knocked unconscious.

I was defending my friend and his sister from an irate, drunken Canadian who was attacking our car and spouting anti-American-isms.

Unfortunately, I’m not much of a fighter.   I ended up with a badly-scraped ear (from hitting the sidewalk) and 9 stitches in my left occipital ridge.


The only other times I’ve even been to the hospital (for myself) were a couple of emergency room visits (for stitches) and my vasectomy, which was an out-patient procedure.



3. "Alimony is like buying hay for a dead horse."

What payment do you make that seems ridiculous?

Taxes, especially state sales tax.
(Mostly because of the amount)



4. "Humor is reason gone mad."

How would you describe your sense of humor?

I'm omni-humorous.  I appreciate everything from slap-stick to dry wit to absurdist humor to dirty jokes to one-liners.  Pretty much anything goes.



5. "I have a mind to join a club and beat you over the head with it."

Who was the last person that you wanted to beat with something or other?

My boss. With a candlestick.  In the library.



6. "I never forget a face, but in your case I'll be glad to make an exception."

Would you ever like to change something about your face?

Why mess with perfection?  (LOL!)  I suppose it might be nice to not need glasses.  Otherwise, I’m okay with my face.



7. "I was married by a judge. I should have asked for a jury."

I read an article recently that asked if marriage was still relevant. Other than to raise children do you see the point?

How about finding that one person with whom you can share your life?  Someone who’ll stick by your side through thick and thin, good times and bad?  

Not to mention the breaks you get on taxes, insurance, etc.
(And who's gonna get you a Valentine's Day card if you're not married?)

Marriage isn’t for everybody of course, but I think the benefits are unquestionable.



8. "If you've heard this story before, don't stop me, because I'd like to hear it again."

Do you find that you tend to repeat your stories?

No, but this one time I got into a fight in Canada and…

Actually, I try not to repeat stories.  But I also forget whom I’ve told already, so some people never hear them at all.



9. "There's one way to find out if a man is honest - ask him. If he says, "Yes," you know he is a crook."

Do you find most people that are in your life to be honest?

Yes. I’m a pretty honest and straight-forward person, so most people I associate with are the same.



10. "Wives are people who feel they don't dance enough."

Have you ever felt that your significant other did not go out enough?

Years ago I did, but now she gets out with friends pretty regularly.  And sometimes we'll all go out together.
