Mark Twain upon being introduced by some guy:

"The house, very much against his will, forced him to ascend the platform and introduce me. He stood thinking a moment and then said:

'I don't know anything about this man. At least I know only two things: one is, he hasn't been in the penitentiary, and the other is (after a pause, and almost sadly), I don't know why.'”
