An English actress (Sarah Bernhardt ?) had engaged George Bernard Shaw in a conversation, and remarked that a marriage between the two of them would be ideal, since the children could inherit her looks and his brains. "Yes," replied Shaw, "but what would happen if he ended up with MY looks and YOUR brains." Again, if anyone has a more definitive quotation, mail me. -- Craig Werner !philabs!aecom!werner What do you expect? Watermelons are out of season!
