上星期收到朋友的轉寄信，說是美國CBS電視60 Minutes節目主持人
Andy Rooney (上圖) 針對熟女這主題，發表的一篇言論。

內容是很有趣的，讓人忍不住想要與朋友分享(見本文最下方)。
有鑒於文章是中英對照，基於本人無聊的天性，自然要向Google 大師求證一下
這可不得了了~ 這篇文章根本就不是 Andy Rooney 這老頭說的，
看看 Wikipedia, 這老頭還用過疑似種族歧視的言語。
這封網路誤導從2002年開始，Andy 老頭還為此在電視上公開澄清，
說他很高興有很多人表示「我不相信這是你說的」，還真是諷刺阿~
這段話的正主，Frank Kaiser ，一位專欄作家，他本人倒是看的很開。

雖然Andy Rooney 沒有發表過這篇每個女人都會讚賞的文章，
但是 Wiki Quote 倒是搜集了不少他的真實名言。
挑幾篇我覺得有意思的與大家分享。

Computers makes it easier to do a lot of things, but most of the things they make it easier to do don't need to be done.
電腦讓很多事情變得容易，但是大部分電腦簡化的事情是根本不用去做的

I don't like food that's too carefully arranged; it makes me think that the chef is spending too much time arranging and not enough time cooking. If I wanted a picture I'd buy a painting.
我不喜歡食物擺盤太過精緻，這讓我不經懷疑廚師是不是花足夠的時間在烹飪上面，我如果想要圖片，我會去買一幅畫

If you smile when no one else is around, you really mean it.
如果在四下無人的時刻微笑，你是真的開心
