Because they have gotten all that money from their ex-husbands.

When I read this thread....can't help but think of the old W.C. Fields line.

"Women are like elephants...nice to look at, but I wouldn't wanna own one!"

<font color="blue">Ah, W.C. Fields - a fine man of character ...</font>

<font color="green"> Before Marriage </font>



<font color="red">After failed marriage </font>







<font color="blue">Here are a few quotes from "The Man":
</font>


WOMEN and MARRIAGE


"No doubt exists that all women are crazy; it's only a question of degree."



"(A woman) drove me to drink. It is the one thing I'm indebted to her for."



"Women are like elephants to me. I like to look at 'em, but I wouldn't want to own one."
(Mississippi, 1935.)



"Marry an outdoors woman. Then if you throw her out into the yard for the night, she can still survive."




"Marriage is better than leprosy because it's easier to get rid of."


"Ah yes, she's a fine figure of a woman, isn't she? A handsome lass if there ever was one--and exceptionally well-preserved too."
(and)
"A plumber's idea of Cleopatra."
(Fields' insults about Mae West on the set of My Little Chickadee, 1940)




"All the men in my family were bearded, and most of the women."
(Fields' offhand remark, after asked about a fake moustache he wore on stage)



(Asked if he believed in clubs for women, Fields responded
"Yes, if every other form of persuasion fails."
(From: Humorous Anecdotes About Famous People by Lewis C. Henly, 1948, Halcyon House, NY.)



"Thou shalt not covet they neighbor's wife unless she's a beauty."



"I was married once--in San Francisco. I haven't seen her for many years. The great earthquake and fire in 1906 destroyed the marriage certificate. There's no legal proof. Which proves that earthquakes aren't all bad." (Original source? "Borrowed" from "A Tribute to W.C. Fields" website.)



(To the question: Do married people live longer?--Fields responded
"No, it just seems longer."
(Attributed to The Bank Dick, yet the line doesn't appear in the film .)



"I believe in tying the marriage knot, as long as it's around the woman's neck."
