Can't spell still, I see. Oh well, I *did* check out Karl and found him dryly droll. Trust me, Groucho will get the last laugh every time. Examples: Karl Heinrich Marx: "The first time as a tragedy, the second time as a comedy." Julius Henry (Groucho) Marx: “Die, my dear? Why that's the last thing I'll do!” KHM: “History is not like some individual person, which uses men to achieve its ends. History is nothing but the actions of men in pursuit of their ends.” JHM: “Although it is generally known, I think it's about time to announce that I was born at a very early age.” KHM: “From each according to his abilities, to each according to his needs.” JHM: “No-one is completely unhappy at the failure of his best friend.” KHM: “We are ruthless and ask no quarter from you. When our turn comes we shall not disguise our terrorism.” JHM: “Here's to our wives and girlfriends... may they never meet!” KHM: “Religious distress is at the same time the expression of real distress and the protest against real distress. Religion is the sigh of the oppressed creature, the heart of a heartless world, just as it is the spirit of a spiritless situation. It is the opium of the people.” JHM: “From the moment I picked your book up until I laid it down I was convulsed with laughter. Someday I intend reading it.” <end> Interesting that both had the middle name "Henry", eh? Terry
