Back in the 1930's it was host to the greatest collections of wits this country has seen (certainly more then we have seen on this news group as of late). Some of the best(?) puns from this group included: DOROTHY PARKER: "You can lead a horticulture, but you can't make her think." GEORGE S. KAUFMAN: Once one of George's friends had a baby born on October 12 which that year was both Columbus Day, AND Yom Kippur. Kaufman wired them: "Call the baby Christopher Kipper" JULIUS H. MARX: Once Mr. Marx gave a little speach on traveling in Europe: "Beyond the alps are more alps, and the lord alps those that alps themselves" Old does not necessarily mean bad, OZ seimso!rlgvax!oz
