Quote of the Day (P. G. Wodehouse, on Good and Bad Aunts)


It is no use telling me there are bad aunts and good aunts. At the core, they are all alike. Sooner or later, out pops the cloven hoof.” — English humorist P. G. Wodehouse (1881-1975), The Code of the Woosters (1938)

(The image accompanying this post shows Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie, as, respectively, faithful and all-knowing valet Jeeves and his dim-witted young aristocratic employer, Bertie Wooster, in the 1990s British series Jeeves and Wooster. Guess which ones comes out with the above gem?)
