Funny quote
Yesterday I referenced the O Henry story entitled, "The Man Higher Up" (I got the name wrong). I re-read it, and found it started with a very funny and relevant dialogue, particularly considering it was published over 100 years ago, in 1908
Here's the excerpt
Quote:"There are two kinds of graft," said Jeff, "that ought to be wiped out by law. I mean Wall Street speculation, and burglary."
"Nearly everybody will agree with you as to one of them," said I, with
a laugh.
"Well, burglary ought to be wiped out, too," said Jeff; and I wondered
whether the laugh had been redundant.
