Humour-2

As mentioned last week P . G. Wodehouse is the favorite author of many who understand and appreciate him. They keep exchanging quotes from happ www, just as those who love films like those of K L Sehgal talk  even to strangers if they meet in theatres that specialise in screening them at least once a year. There was one such in Delhi as there may be in most cities.

 Unfortunately both are falling in number. One such fan sent me many such quotes. I told  him of a site where audiobooks read by volunteers,, .librivox.com, are available free.as their copyright expired. A few of the quotes are  reproduced : I heard 19 of them at a stretch.

*Has anybody ever seen a dramatic critic in the daytime? Of course not. They come out after dark, up to no good. 

  xxxx.  

*Every author really wants to have letters printed in the papers. Unable to make the grade, he drops down a rung of the ladder and writes novels. 

  xxxx

*The least thing upset him was the links. He missed short putts because of the uproar of the butterflies in the adjoining meadows. 

 xxxx

*To find a man’s true character, play golf with him.

      So on and on……
