Quote of the Day (Bob Newhart, on a Psychic Incompetent at Her Job)

“I was in New York to do Letterman and I got in the town car and was taking it from the airport. Coming up Sixth Avenue, I look up at a window and there’s this sign that says, ‘Psychic,’ and there’s a made-up sign that says, ‘Lost our lease.’ Now, if you’re a true psychic, you know you’re going to lose your lease. I questioned how good a psychic she was.”—Actor and stand-up comic Bob Newhart quoted in Jim Sullivan, “As Long As He's Able, Comedian Bob Newhart Says It's His 'Obligation'To Do Stand-Up,” www.wbur.org (Boston’s NPR news station), Nov. 3, 2016
