  Roald Dahl : I am told that in the United States, women earn about 80% of all the wealth of the country. Most of them, I suppose, have managed to bump their husbands off in one splendid way or another, and good luck to them. But what do they do with all that money, these women? What they do not do is to remarry penniless young men. They're too smart for that. And yet very rich men -- who, for some reason, are all incredibly lecherous -- are forever marrying penniless, beautiful young ladies. These husbands don't live very long. But here is the story about a rich woman who did the opposite and married a man without money. And look what happened to them.
