### Salvador Dali went into a New York bookstore one day and asked for a copy of his _Secret Life of Salvador Dali._ The young clerk, instantly recognizing his distinguished customer, fetched the book and began to wrap it up. “Have you read it?” asked the artist. “No, I’m afraid not,” replied the young man, handing over the package. “Take it,” said Dali magnanimously, pushing the book back across the counter. “It is my gift to you. Would you like me to autograph it for you?” The clerk eagerly tore open the package and handed the artist a pen. Only after Dali had left the store did the young man, gazing at the treasured autograph, realize that the artist had omitted one important detail. He had neglected to pay for the book. * * * ### As he was driving back to his mansion, Pick-fair, Douglas Fairbanks saw an Englishman of aristocratic mien and familiar face trudging along the road in the heat. He stopped to offer him a ride, which the stranger accepted. Still unable to remember the man’s name, Fairbanks invited him for a drink, and in the course of conversation attempted to elicit some clues as to his visitor’s identity. The Englishman seemed to know many of Fairbanks’s friends and was evidently well acquainted with the estate, for he made approving comments on some recent changes. Eventually Fairbanks managed a whispered aside to his secretary, who had just entered the room. “Who’s this Englishman? I know he’s Lord Somebody, but I just can’t remember his name.” “That,” replied the secretary, “is the English butler you fired last month for getting drunk.” * * * ### Oscar Hammerstein’s wife, Dorothy, was always ready to speak out for her husband when she felt that he was being pushed out of the limelight by one of his collaborators. Whenever somebody referred to Jerome Kern’s “Ol’ Man River,” Dorothy would immediately retort, “Oscar Hammerstein wrote ‘Ol’ Man River.’ Jerome Kern wrote ‘Ta-ta dumdum, ta ta-ta dumdum.’ ” * * * ### Senator Joseph McCarthy stalked out of a congressional committee room in a rage, to be met by a bevy of reporters who asked him to comment upon a shocking allegation that had just been made. “Why, it’s the most unheard-of thing I’ve ever heard of,” McCarthy exploded. * * * ### Ignace Paderewski attended the 1919 Paris Peace Conference as the new premier of Poland. The French premier, Georges Clemenceau, was introduced to the great musician. “Are you a cousin of the famous pianist Paderewski?” he asked mischievously. “I am the famous pianist,” replied Paderewski. “And you have become prime minister?” exclaimed Clemenceau. “What a comedown!” ---
