The Clog from OzW.C. Fields

[When his director invites him for a game of golf]
"When I want to play with a prick, I'll play with my own."
In my first post after I'd taken over this blog, I said I would try to refrain as much as possible from copying/pasting, but here I am, with a quote by the (in)famous W.C. Fields that can be found all over the Internet. However, this one is too good to be missed and whenever I mention this quote to someone, I notice few people have ever heard it before and I have to admit that it wasn't amongst the most famous W.C. Fields quotes I was familiar with before I really got into his ever so wonderful oneliners and wisecracks.
Most websites mentioning this quote say that Fields used it for someone he didn't like, but the first time I came upon this quote, the additional information provided was that he used it to a director he was working with at the time. I prefer this version, as it shows W.C. Fields' uniqueness as well as his plain contempt for anyone he didn't like, no matter whether he was dependent upon them workwise. And even though I am not 100% sure that it matches the reality of his life, I simply like to think it does.
