Mark Twain:
"The street called Straight
is straighter than a corkscrew,
but not as straight as a rainbow.
St. Luke is careful not to commit himself;
he does not say it is the street which is straight, but
"the street which is called Straight."
It is the only facetious remark in the Bible,
I believe."
Mark Twain
