Head

I've been re-reading Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman recently.  This morning, I ran across a line that sounded familiar.  Near the end of Act 1, Willy Loman says, "Everybody likes a kidder, but nobody lends him money."  Of course, this made me think of what Peter says in Head:  "Nobody ever lends money to a man with a sense of humor."  While there's a clear resemblance between these two, I don't know if it's intentional or coincidental.
