Quips

One of Bette Midler’s finest quips went something like “My husband told me if I’d just learn to clean the house better we could fire the maid. I told him ”˜If you’d just learn how to fuck, we could fire the mechanic.’” Ba-doom-boom. Hell, nobody does palatable raunch quite like Bette Midler.
