SUCCINCTNESS AND CLARITY IS THE KEY

Blog number 252 **** 02 December 2008

In Blog entry number 251 of this same date, as may be seen below this entry, I talked some of an Admiral Beatty. Now I want to talk a bit about his wife.

Beatty (and a few others evidently) was seeing in the Biblical sense, a married woman named Mrs. Ethel Tree. Ethel eventually wanted a divorce from her husband so she could marry Admiral Beatty, so she sent him this wonderful letter;

Dear Arthur,

I have thought over your suggestion that we should live together again and I can never consent to it. There is no use discussing our differences. I shall never live with you again.

Yours truly,
Ethel F. Tree

My all-time favorite quote was by Winston Churchill. Apparently at a dinner party a woman came up to him and said, "Sir, if I was your wife I would poison your tea." To which he replied, "Madam, if I was your husband I'd drink it!"

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHA

Always my favorite.
