Who gets what
The following rules are not all that’s needed to understand life, but they go a long way.
1. It’s the tenor who gets the girl. (The baritone never stood a chance1.)
2. It’s the physicists who get the money.
Note
1Actually I can think of a couple of exceptions (both Russian, I wonder what that means): Ruslan and Ludmilla (bass), Prince Igor (he is old though).
