A child of five would understand this. Send someone to fetch a child of five.
Groucho Marx
For quotes that make you laugh, this is certainly one of them. One of my favourites actually. A child of five. Now, I can think of two different ways you could read this:
1. One of five children
2. A five year old child
Now, you may think that I'm slightly weird, and I will admit that I can seem that way. No point being normal, is there? But, I have another reason for blogging about his quote. While studying History, I came across the name Karl Marx and wondered if they were related. And here are my findings.
No they aren't related. Groucho Marx was an American comedian and film star famed as a master of wit. He lived mainly in Los Angeles but was born in New York in 1870, dying in Los Angeles in 1977. His parents were Jewish and they grew up on East 93rd Street off Lexington Avenue in a neighborhood now known as Carnegie Hill on the Upper East Side of the borough of Manhattan, in New York City.
Anyway, here are my top 10 (not including the one above) favourite Groucho Marx quotes!
A black cat crossing your path signifies that the animal is going somewhere.
Before I speak, I have something important to say.
Either he's dead or my watch has stopped.
I find television very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go into the other room and read a book.
I intend to live forever, or die trying.
I must confess, I was born at a very early age.
I never forget a face, but in your case I'll be glad to make an exception.
I'm leaving because the weather is too good. I hate London when it's not raining.
Well, Art is Art, isn't it? Still, on the other hand, water is water. And east is east and west is west and if you take cranberries and stew them like applesauce they taste much more like prunes than rhubarb does. Now you tell me what you know.
Why a four-year-old child could understand this report. Run out and find me a four-year-old child. I can't make head nor tail out of it.
