so I'm not sure if actually makes the point it is trying to make. BTW, DiMaggio's marriage to Monroe ended after 9 months.

For two decades, DiMaggio had flowers delivered to Marilyn's grave twice a week. "I firmly believe," said Brad Dexter, "that all the years that [DiMaggio] made those visitations to her grave site and left flowers. . . he was still in love with her, but also [did it] out of a great sense of guilt.|
Kinda makes the meme pointless. Facts are important, whether they help us or not.
