oh give me a break.  it's just a joke.  are you so insane that anytime
someone makes a joke that they OBVIOUSLY DON'T MEAN OR TRULY BELIEVE IN
THEIR HEART that you have to get your arms in the air and start shouting.
if there was some quote like "putting a face on a man is like pouring
mayonnaise in a fine glass of wine" i wouldn't start getting upset.  i might
not crack a smile, but i wouldn't start complaining.


"[Someone] told me I should sit on my hands [when Kazan got his Academy
Award]. I don't like being told what to do or how to think and will
generally do the opposite. When one woman urged me to sit on my hands, I
told her, "I'll do better than that. I'll have a pen and a pad of paper with
me, and I'll write down the names of everyone I see standing up. I'll give
you that list, and maybe we can keep everyone on it from ever working again"
