Guest guest Posted October 19, 2007 Report Share Posted October 19, 2007 The pianist Artho r Rubinstein was late arriving for lunch at a first class restaurant in New York. His friends began to be concerned, but Rubinstein finally appeared, with a spectacular blonde, one-third his age, at his side. Known to be something of a cheapskate, he surprised his friends by ordering the most expensive entree, and the rarest, most sophisticated wine. When lunch was over, he paid the bill with a smile. " I can see that you are all surprised, " Rubinstein said. " But today, I went to my lawyer's to prepare my will. I left a goodly amount to my daughter and to my relatives, and made generous donations to charities. But I suddenly realized that I wasn't included in the will; everything went to others. " So, I decided to treat myself with greater generosity. " Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
