Jack Spring punchings

[Annie Grieshop]

Ol' Al was full of 'em and was certainly very talented at self-promotion.
An interesting character, to be sure.  And his quotes are memorable because
his metaphors were so powerful.

I do hope that someday someone will adequately biographize the women in his
life, as they played a very large role in both his work and his reputation.
(But maybe not his body of quotes.)

My favorite factoid is that while Albert enjoyed cigars, his second wife
thought pipes were more professorial, so she made sure there was always a
rack of pipes on his desk for photographs.  The power of image over
reality.......

  Dang, this quote manages to insult the intelligence of both women AND the
  elderly, all in one fell swoop.  The Albert sure was an efficient guy.  Or
  maybe it's all relative..........  (Or maybe he was only insulting his own
  relatives.)

  Hi Annie,

  Here's another for you from ol' Albert, maybe it's not as insulting?



  Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour. Sit
with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute. THAT'S
relativity. -- Albert Einstein

  Whilst we are quoting the great man, how about this one:
