If you’re too young to know about WC Fields, all you need to know is that he was a comedian that loved his alcohol… Here are some of his more amusing statements:
1) I always keep a supply of stimulant handy in case I see a snake–which I also keep handy.
2) Reminds me of my safari in Africa. Somebody forgot the corkscrew and for several days we had to live on nothing but food and water.
3) I am free of all prejudice. I hate everyone equally.
4) I cook with wine, sometimes I even add it to the food.
5) I never drink water because of the disgusting things that fish do in it.
6) If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. Then quit. There’s no point in being a damn fool about it.
7) A rich man is nothing but a poor man with money.
8) Abstaining is favorable both to the head and the pocket.
