Once a beautiful and dissolute British actress wrote to propose marriage to Bernard Shaw.She said he was a genius,so she did not mind his old age and ugliness.And if they could combine the beauty of the woman with the talents of the GREat man,that would be greatly harmonious.“With your wisdom and my appearance,our children must be perfect.”
Bernard Shaw answered,in a letter,that her imagination was splendid.“But,what if the children take my appearance and your wisdom ?”
