It's fun, but it does get on people's nerves on occasion :-)

Bea dreads having intellectual company over. We once had an English
Literature Professor and his wife over here for dinner. He's the dean
of a major university. During dinner, before Bea could stop me, I had
described Dickins "Tale of Two Cities" as a book beginning with
"It was a day just like any other day"
and ending with
"It is a far better thing I do than I've ever done before"

.......with a bunch of crap about the French Revolution in the middle.

I'm sure they do the same thing.

At least you didn't try and draw him into a discussion about the works of
Joan Collins.
