This seems to have gotten us onto the subject of lines that got people kicked
off of the glass teat.  My own personal favorite comes from the great Groucho
Marx.  At one time he hosted a game show, called "You Bet Your Life" (which
my erudite roommate tells me was resurrected[sp?] with Buddy Hacket-just
an f.y.i. along with the joke for the trivia addicts.).  We were treated to
the sight of a male contestant to be roasted by Groucho.

Groucho: Tell us something about yourself; are you married?
Contestant: Yes, I'm married and I have 13 kids.
G: 13 kids?!  How did you do that?
C: I love my wife.
G: I love my cigar, too, but I take it out every once in a while!
