Magic Shake-Ball



Dear Magic Shake-Ball:

Now that Heidi Klum and Seal have broken up, is there no celebrity couple that's safe? Who's next? Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze, Jr.??

Answer:

Son: Was my father a traitor, mother?
Lady Macduff: Ay, that he was.
Son: What is a traitor?
L. Macd.: Why, one that swears and lies.

(Macbeth 4.2..44-47)

Interpretation:

Oh, God, not the Macduffs--the most tragic of all couple betrayals in Shakespeare. Dreamy Macduff is off trying to save Scotland and doesn't think to maybe leave his wife with a bodyguard or two. And then his whole family gets wiped out. That's it. No one's immune.
