After his stint in Reading gaol, Oscar Wilde was urged by a
friend to mend his ways, to turn over a new leaf. Wilde agreed. But
a few days later, the friend returned to his hotel suite, which he
was sharing with Wilde, and found Wilde apparently doing the thing
which has no name with the bellboy. Shocked, the friend
remonstrated: "But Oscar, you said you would turn over a new leaf."
To which Wilde replied, "Yes, but I haven't yet gotten to the
bottom of the page."
