Courtship
Many Thoughts of Many Minds, a collection of quotations* usually has pretty sober, old-fashioned (but very good) quotes in a given category. The selection of quotes on Courtship was no different with the exception of these two:
“Rejected lovers need never despair! There are four-and-twenty hours in a day, and not a moment in the twenty-four in which a woman may not change her mind.” —DE FINOD

*Available for free in a 1, 2, or 4 per day email or RSS format. Both this book and the DailyLit service are highly recommended.

There are a couple things wrong with this chart. First, you don’t count any cups before 9:30am. Second, another cup at 3pm levels the curve right out until another little boost is needed after dinner about 7pm.
“Apparently a different configuration of udder.”
This is easily the funniest line I’ve ever read by George Orwell.
