You go Uruguay and I'll go mine.

--Groucho

8. I just finished working on a book about why Catholics (well, the right kinds of Catholics) should have more children. I was reminded of Groucho's line on You Bet Your Life, upon a contestant telling Groucho he had thirteen children:

"I like my cigar, but I put it away once in a while."

10.

I worked with a guy who had married a woman who had been married six times before: two women and four men. She was also a convert from both Judaism and Mormonism, but I forget to what.

His comment (they later divorced, but he had a good time while it lasted): "She's trying to be a member of as many hated groups as possible."

13. You've probably seen it. It's in a well-known book of collected Jewish humor.

Four-panel comic strip:

Panel one, man to Hasid: "Can I talk to you about Jews for Jesus?"

Panels two and three: [Staring.]

Panel four, Hasid, smiling: "You're on kamikaze duty, I presume?"

16. Stage actress, maybe singer, if I recall. This was early 2010s.

For 15, sorry.

Acrobatic skills, though, may have played a role in the serial marriages.

I know another woman who at last count had been married seven times. We came to know her during husband no. 5.

About 8 years later, we ran into no. 5. The Divine Miss M had just married no. 5's uncle to make it seven. No. 5 played at the wedding.

All this related with a hilarious nonchalance.
