Mark Twain or Groucho Marx?

[Pryderi]

with whom would you rather have dinner?

[Dr Morbius]

1. Sam Clemens was by all accounts a great wit.

I like Groucho, don't get me wrong, but Mark Twain's on a higher level.

[Pryderi]

2. It's a coin flip to me. Groucho was more esoteric and could slide by the censors

really well

3. I had to vote for Groucho and it's no reflection on Twain

But I'm afraid with Twain at the dinner table I wouldn't get a word in edgewise while Groucho would make everything I say sound funnier than it is.

4. Groucho, but I think either one would insult me

I'd be a bit intimidated to dine with either of them.
