The popular story is that, on Groucho’s 1950s TV quiz show “You Bet Your Life,” a female contestant said that the reason she had 22 kids was “because I love children, and I think that’s our purpose here on earth, and I love my husband.” To which Groucho supposedly replied: “I love my cigar, too, but I take it out of my mouth once in a while.”
