Abbott and Costello had a comedy routine years ago. If memory serves me, it went something like this:
Abbott: Don’t you want to marry a beautiful woman?
Costello: Nah. I’m afraid she’d run away on me.
Abbott: Wouldn’t an ugly woman be just as likely to run away on you too?
Costello: Yeah, but then who cares?
Red Fox used it in his act: Marry an ugly woman, that way you’re glad when she leaves you.
