This one tests the limits of my memory, way back to high school, where I played the part of Jeffrey in "The Curious Savage". In this play, the inmates at the asylum turn out to be the (only) sane ones. The lead role of Lily-Bell (sic?) was played by Lucille Ball (on Broadway, I think). One of her lines (to another inmate) goes like this:

It's best to believe the worst...because
IF you believe the worst...then
the worst is only half bad at best...and
the best is no worse than you expected!...So, you see,
it's best to believe the worst.

Tata for now.
Dennis
