A man I'd like to meet died the year I was born

"Military intelligence is a contradiction in terms."
"A woman is an occasional pleasure but a cigar is always a smoke."



Groucho reincarnated himself this Friday in a form of the city hospital's Jewish anesthesiologist, an old man with large mustache and horrible jokes:

I : "After the surgery, is this patient going to the recovery, or to the floor?"
He: "Well, she's going to the recovery, unless she falls."

Another one, for Spanish speakers. He asked me if I knew Spanish. When I said "Yes" he asked me to translate the following phrase
"Mentirosa, mentirosa, pantalones en fuego."* Luckily, I could translate it. (that would have been a disaster) :)
*"Liar, liar, pants on fire."

Alluding to the Yugoslavian civil war, he said: "Do you Serbs have a Croatian Awareness Day? Something like 'Take a Croatian out for lunch?'"

Etc.

I learned about Groucho in a roundabout way - through Dylan Dog's adventures.


When I bought the first issues here I was surprised to see that he was renamed Felix and mustache were taken away!
It just doesn't look right! (legal issues, bah!) :(
