*"THE HEIGHT OF INTELLIGENCE"*
Once *Iswarchandra Vidyasagar* jokingly asked *Michel Madhusudan Dutt,* "As you are master in English, can you make a sentence without using 'E'?"
He wrote this...
*"I doubt I can. It’s a major part of many many words. Omitting it, is as hard as making muffins without flour. It’s as hard as spitting without saliva, napping without a pillow, driving a train without tracks, sailing to Russia without a boatload and washing your hands without soap. And, anyway, what would I gain? An award? A cash bonus? Bragging rights? Why should I strain my brain? It’s not worth doing."*
Hats Off To The Genius!!!
