| Smith, Bernie THE JOY OF TRIVIA - Vintage part of the Joy of The Joy Of Trivia is Bernie Smith's delightful comments on this collection of inconsequential but fascinating facts.

"Early in 1975 the U.S. senate voted on: A motion to table a motion to reconsider a vote to table an appeal of a ruling that a point of order was not in order against a motion to table another point of order against the motion to bring to a vote the motion to call up the resolution that would institute a rules change. I don't know what all that means, but you can be sure we taxpayers got it in the neck!" And, did you know that in all the Tarzan movies, the hero never once said: "Me, Tarzan; You, Jane." ?
