Selected Wit by
Jonathan Caws-Elwitt:
The problem with being frivolous is that no one takes you seriously.
I must be on my way. I have a lot of important dawdling to do.
The theater is no place for histrionics.
I claim no expertise, only a knack for groundless opinions.
My plans are never foolproof, only fool-resistant.
The beaujolais was so pretentious that when I sniffed the cork, it sniffed back.
One of these days, I shall slough off this phony accent and assume a genuine accent.
I like The Importance of Being Earnest so much that I've worn out three
pairs of glasses re-reading it. And I don't even wear glasses.
I wouldn't mind working all day, if only it didn't take all day to do it.
