Perpetual Anecdote.

When Oliver Goldsmith was youth
some young people at gathering
were amusing themselves by trying to
see who could make the ugliest face.
Many extravagant facial contortions
were on display.
At the conclusion, the master OF
ceremonies stepped up to Goldsmith
and said: "Sir, think you have won
the prize"
"Oh" responded the poet. Il wasn't
playing"
