Whistler retort (best thing ever of the day 2)


Vonnegut sort-of doppelganger James Macneil Whistler, right? "Whistler's Mother" painter?


I was at the doctor on Monday reading an Esquire and came across this anecdote about him...he was a big wit, right, and friends with Oscar Wilde. So Whistler makes some particularly great cutting remark and the Wilde One says "I wish I'd said that!"


Whistler says: "You will, Oscar."


EPIC!
