About this Quote
This quote by Rodney Dangerfield is an amusing take on the common marital circumstance of one partner getting home late. The joke suggests that the better half was anticipating her partner to come home previously, and had dressed up in an attractive negligee to amaze him. Nevertheless, the partner was late, and the partner was currently home. This quote is a lighthearted way of satirizing the typical concern of one partner coming home late, and the other partner's dissatisfaction.

The quote is an amusing method of highlighting the value of interaction and understanding in a marital relationship.

"So many people are working in vaudeville today that I looked for three weeks to book enough acts for an hour bill and didn't have them until the night before we opened in Buffalo and money was no object!"
"Night, the beloved. Night, when words fade and things come alive. When the destructive analysis of day is done, and all that is truly important becomes whole and sound again. When man reassembles his fragmentary self and grows with the calm of a tree"
