Groucho's Quick Quip: A Masterclass in Wit

Here's a funny story involving the legendary comedian Groucho Marx:

One evening, Groucho attended a dinner party where he found himself seated next to a wealthy socialite. The woman, clearly trying to impress him, went on about her lavish lifestyle, dropping hints about her status. At one point, she turned to Groucho and said, "You know, Mr. Marx, I’ve been married for 25 years, and not once have I ever thought of divorce."

Without missing a beat, Groucho quipped, "Well, in that case, you should be commended! Most women would’ve thought of divorce at least once—but you must’ve just thought of murder!"

The quick wit left everyone at the table roaring with laughter. Groucho's humor was always sharp, unexpected, and perfectly timed!
