The most remarkable thing about my mother is that for thirty years she served the family nothing but leftovers. The original meal has never been found.

Mothers

I never did very well in math - I could never seem to persuade the teacher that I hadn't meant my answers literally.

As far as I'm concerned, "whom" is a word that was invented to make everyone sound like a butler.
