Subject: contempt vs. content



Hello,



I just received a message from someone in Virginia who is familiar

with the expression,



          "Familiarity breeds contempt,"



but has never heard,



          "Familiarity breeds content."



I, who have lived primarily in the western states (CA, WA, and UT),

had only heard the "content" version. Are both versions in common

usage now or has one of us merely misheard something?
