100 Years Ago Today: The Marx Brothers Crash into Broadway with "I'll Say She Is"

100 years ago today: the official Broadway opening of the Marx Brothers’ first Broadway show, I’ll Say She Is. An excerpt from my new book The Marx Brothers Miscellany: I’ll Say She Is, a revue of comedy sketches and songs by Will B. Johnstone, previewed at the Walnut Street Theatre in Philadelphia before moving to the Casino Theatre in New York on May 19, 1924. The exact contents have been lost…

Financial Freedom: Lady explains how she started polymer business with less than 10k

By the time you read to the end of this article, you'll understand what it means to not look down on money.

Not having enough capital to start a trade is the major excuse many people give for not running a small scale business.

Many actually believe they can't start a business with anything less than N100,000.

Hmm, that's not too much though, but hey, if you start certain businesses with the little capital you have, trust me, you'll make some reasonable profits.

''Don't look down on money''- Neemah

To be honest, there are small-scale trades you can start with as little as N10,000 or less. You might think it is difficult to launch a business with N10,000 but here's a testimonial from Twitter.

Naeemah is a business-minded lady. She has a genuine means of income and she's always ready to make more money from any legit trade.

Where many complain about starting a petty trade with N10,000, Naeemah says N10,000 is too much for her and in one tweet, she tells us how she started a side hustle with less than N10,000.

Here's her tweet.

 10k too much honestly, just last week a shop closed down close to my shop in the market and my mother advised me to start selling nylons they sell,  in every N900 per pack, I make profit of N300     Omo oloja nimi      we don't look down on money  .

Now, let's do the maths, if she makes N300 profit on each pack and she sells at least four three packs a day, she will go home with N900 every day. She'll probably make N4,500 in five days.

However, if you think N4,500 is nothing for a small business like this, you are looking down on money.

The moral of this is that if you want to be rich, never look down on money. A drop of water they say make a mighty ocean. The little profit you make from your petty trade today can set up a bigger business tomorrow.

The Return of Marxfest!

Today marks the 99th anniversary of the Marx Brothers’ first Broadway show I’ll Say She Is, which we revived nine years ago in the context of an entire Marx Brothers festival produced by moi and a committee of much sharper and more charming cohorts. It seemed a good time for this unauthorized leak that talks are already afoot for a new edition of Marxfest, to take place just about a year from…

Who Are the Stars of Marxfest?

Who are the stars of Marxfest, the Marx Brothers festival taking place in NYC just two months from now? Well, I’ll tell yer! And in my patented, condensed, prioritized way, for the convenience of the busy blog reader. For it is indeed star-studded. We’ll have comedian Robert Klein in conversation with the New York Times’ Jason Zinoman; the New Yorker‘s Adam Gopnick; cultural historian Danny…

Groucho Does an Irish Jig

Today is the birthday of James Joyce (1882-1941)…which puts me in mind of a little anecdote I came across recently in The Groucho Letters. The correspondence is with New York Post writer Leonard Lyons, who in a 1960 missive relates that he’d been communicating with Thornton Wilder, who was himself something of a Joyce scholar. Lyons quotes Wilder as saying:

Sex & Relationships: Should you have sex on the first date? We're settling the age-old question once and for all

Even in 2018, some women still believe that if they have sex on a first date, they'll automatically be labeled “not marriage material.”

Should you have sex on the first date? That's a loaded question, particularly for women.

Even in 2018, some women still believe that if they have sex on a first date, they'll automatically be labeled “not marriage material.” (You know the old saying: "Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?" Yeah, that's a dumb saying.)

“There is still some holding onto what people might call outdated dating values,” says Lawrence Siegel, a clinical sexologist and sex educator. “Either there is still a stigma, or there is a fear that there is a stigma.”

But while we typically think of the "should I have sex on the first date?" question as exclusive to women, men struggle with this question, too - albeit in a different way. If a guy has sex on the first date, it's essentially a signal to the other person that all they care about is sex, even if that's not necessarily the case. And if it is the case, having sex on the first date can send mixed messages to the other person.

"I’ve been on dates before where I turned down sex on the first date, despite being attracted to the other person, because of the potential repercussions," JC*, 34, told MensHealth.com. "I could tell she was feeling a more emotional connection than I was.”

Luckily, the stigma surrounding sex on the first date is rapidly changing - for both genders. According to a survey conducted by OkCupid, 46 percent of users would consider having sex on the first date. “Today I think we are having much more sex on the first date because of technology, as well as more relaxed attitudes about sex, especially for women,” says sex therapist Dr. Debra Laino.

So should you have sex on the first date? The answer, for Siegel, is “a resounding: it depends.” Here are the pros and cons.

Hell, yes, you should!

There are a few reasons why sex on the first date isn’t just not a bad idea, but a really great one.

1) It helps establish whether you have chemistry.

More often than not, it takes time to figure out if another person is the right one for you. But every once in a while, you meet someone and you just know.

"I've had three, three-year-plus relationships and they all started with sex on the first date,” says Alex, 38. “The way I look at it is, if you lust after somebody that you don't know terribly well, it can still be a damn good start to a longstanding relationship. And I think it alleviates a lot of pressure."

If you really like someone, you shouldn't let outdated dating rules get in the way of that. "If a guy/girl doesn’t call the guy/girl after a first date that ended with sex, it wasn’t because of the sex," he says.

2) If you communicate beforehand, it ensures there are no mixed signals or unclear expectations.

That said, let's say you're not looking for anything serious, and you're just looking to get your rocks off. That's totally fine - provided you make that clear to the other person right off the bat.

If things are getting hot and heavy, and it starts to look like first-date sex is in the cards, you need to ensure you guys are both on the same page. That can be as simple as saying, "Hey, I'm down with this if you are, but I just want to be clear that I'm not looking for anything serious right now." You're not a jerk for being honest, and it can mitigate the risk of hurt feelings later on down the road.

3) You get to, uh, have sex.

“If it feels good, right, and there is enthusiastic and very clear consent, it’s kind of hard to find a downside," Siegel says. If two people are attracted to each other, why fight that or put off pleasure? 

Eh, maybe not

1) You might lead the other person on.

If both partners are looking to have fun, hook up, and part ways, then that's one thing. But if she's looking for something seriou sand you're not (or vice versa), then that's another story altogether. "[Your partner's] post-sex expectations can be painful if both parties aren’t on the same page," says JC.

You're not a jerk for being honest, and it can mitigate the risk of hurt feelings later on down the road.

2) You might do something you're uncomfortable with, particularly if you've been drinking.

There's a stereotype that all guys are interested in having sex with all women, all the time, but there are many legitimate reasons why you might not want to have sex on a first date - maybe you're not attracted to the person, or maybe you have a history of unsatisfying one-night stands and you want to reverse the pattern. Whatever the reason, if adrenaline (and alcohol) are flowing, that ups the risk of you doing something you might later regret. 

“When you’re in the heat of the moment, you’re trying to figure out your policies, belief system, and what you will and won’t do,” says Siegel. “Figuring all those things in that moment is not an instant calculus. When there is doubt and when you think ,’I’m not going to say NO and ruin the evening or upset my date, but I’m not totally into this,’ it may just end up being, ‘I will give in and bide my time.’ And that’s not consent.”

3) First-date sex can be pretty terrible.

Even if you're super attracted to the person you're with, if you don't know them that well, then the first time you have sex might not be great, simply because you don't know what they like or don't like in bed. If this happens, you might be more likely to write the other person off (or have your partner write you off), when in truth, all you guys really needed was more practice. 

“If the chemistry is right and it feels special enough that it doesn’t feel like a first date, then the sex can be terrific,” Joe, 31, says. “If you're both bombed in a crowded club and nodding even when you can’t hear her, just to keep her happy enough to drop her pants later, then it probably won’t be very good. You probably won’t even remember her name.”

So what's the ultimate takeaway? It depends - both on your expectations and The key is to remember the importance of honest communication - both with your date and with yourself. If it feels right, and if you're open and honest about what you're looking for, then you have no reason to feel regret.
