Once, during a trial in which she was accused of indecency on stage, the judge asked, "Miss West, are you trying to show contempt for this court?" Opportunity knocks for every man, but you have to give a woman a ring.

Love is the only industry which can't operate on a five-day week. Loves conquers all things except poverty and toothache. |
