I have always believed that the key to a happy marriage was the ability to say with a straight face, “Why, I don’t know what you’re worrying about. I thought you were very funny last night, and I’m sure everybody else did, too.”

Judith Martin (b. 1938) American author, journalist, etiquette expert [a.k.a. Miss Manners]
