Trivial note o pronunciation: forehead

[Mark Mandel]

Commonly attributed to Mae West. Appears in two variants at
http://www.brainyquote.com/quotes/authors/m/mae_west_4.html

Google gives
492 for quotations mae west "very good" "when I'm bad"

The raw number started at "about 26,500". To get the precise number (I
didn't say "accurate"!):
- set prefs to show 100 hits/page (the max)
- jump to the bottom of the page
- click on the last page number listed
- repeat to the last page offered

At this point Google realizes, or has realized, that you want a realistic
number, not a Goostimate.
