Re: Oscar Wilde
Faldage, not to argue against your put-down of Wilde, but here's a gem of his:
The only way a woman can ever reform her husband is by boring him so completely that he loses all possible interest in life. -- Oscar Wilde (1854-1900)

I rest my case.
I do think that Oscar Wilde has provided the ultimate test for a male actor; deliver an Oscar Wilde quip without sounding like you are quoting Oscar Wilde.

Dear WW: I'm afraid you played right into Faldage's hands. That quote just is not one of Wilde's best. A woman who bores her husband completely drives him into arms of some other woman. A Wilde quote I like is the one about Niagara Falls being the first but not the greatest disappointment in American married life. I have a joke about that, but it is too earthy for the Board.
