“I called on a woman, one day, who said she was ill from having eaten a poisoned oyster. I replied, "Oh, no, the oyster was harmless, you poisoned the oyster. What's the matter with you?" She answered, "Oh, about nineteen people." She had quarrelled with nineteen people and had become so inharmonious that she attracted the wrong oyster.”
