MORE MERMAN
"And then there's this one: a friend of mine played piano in the pit for one of her shows, and during the run, the cast and all the musicians were invited to a party at the very swanky apartment of one of the wealthy Park Avenue - type ladies. Ethel and my friend happened to be leaving together when he said to her, 'How kind of Mrs. So-and So to have a party for us.' Whereupon Miss Merman said, 'That cunt, she's so cold you could tap dance on her tits!'"
From Chapter 9, The Music Man
