brilliant quotes

I'm fond of pithy quotes and epigrams, but i usually spare my dear readers.  ;-)

Today, though, i will indulge -- just read one that i got a chuckle out of, by Agatha Christie in "What Mrs. McGillicuddy Saw"

"A doctor's life, I always think, is so noble and self-sacrificing," said Miss Marple.

 "You can't know many doctors," said Doctor Quimper.  "Leeches they used to be called and leeches they often are!"
