One of my fellow students at Yale was a classical music major named Marc Rubenstein. He lived across the hall from us. One of my roommates, Robert Rands (who had the nickname "Lunch Bag") confronted Marc in the hall with this question:

"What is the difference between a violin and a piano?"

Well, Marc was stunned for an answer as he obviously thought of the various masterpieces written for each instrument and the various masters who had played them.

Lunch Bag answered his own question with this comment:

"A piano burns longer."

Marc avoided all of us for about a month after that exchange.

P.S. New info. My primary is over, but because of legal and ethical problems, the incumbent may withdraw/be forced out. He is also losing in the latest poll (5/28) to the Democrat challenger. I seek to be the replacement nominee. For more information see my website. I still need your help.
