This reminds me of the old story about George S. Kauffman, who was a screenwriter and playwright who worked with, inter alia, the Marx Brothers. Kaffman was eating in the NBC Commissary one day when a studio exec walked past him. The exec ran his head over Kauffman's bald head and remarked, "That's as soft as my wife's bottom."
"Yes. Yes it is," Kauffman replied.
