Hi Kay:

Can't resist this Eubie Blake story. While he was not a chaser, he had  
an aura of magnetism around him as far as women were concerned. His  
affairs were legendary, but he never felt he was unfaithful because he  
always came home to both his first and second wives. It was just that  
he could not resist the other women who flocked to him.

When Eubie was 97 years old, impresario Al Rose asked him:

"Eubie, when does a man's sex drive end?"

replied EB

"I don't know, you'll have to ask someone older than me."

Cheers,
Steve Barbone
