A Lady, who had generally a pretty many Intrigues upon her Hands, not liking her Brother’s extravagant Passion for Play, asked him, when he designed to leave off Gaming; when you cease Loving, said he; then reply’d the Lady, you are like to continue a Gamester as long as you live.

2015 translation: A woman who has a bunch of illicit affairs asks her brother when he’s going to stop gambling. He replies that he’ll stop gambling when she stops having sex, so she tells him he’ll be gambling forever. Zing!
