**John Dickinson:** What’s so terrible about being called an Englishman? The English don’t seem to mind.

**Benjamin Franklin:** Nor would I, were I given the full rights of an Englishman. But to call me one without those rights is like calling an ox a bull – he’s thankful for the honor, but he’d much rather have restored what’s rightfully his.

**John Dickinson:** When did you first notice they were missing, sir?

• If laughter is the best medicine, your face must be curing the world.  
• Your birth certificate is an apology letter from the condom factory.  
• You’re so fake, Barbie is jealous.  
• I’m jealous of people that don’t know you!  
• If I wanted to kill myself I’d climb your ego and jump to your IQ.  
• You must have been born on a highway because that’s where most accidents happen.  
• Please shut your mouth when you’re talking to me.

The late Johnny Carson used to dress up as “Carnak the Magnificent” and pretend to answer questions inside an envelope. When the crowd groaned at some less-than-successful joke (or more often applaud when the last joke was announced), Carson/Carnak would glare and pronounce a curse on the audience…

- May a camel with a weak kidney condition find your hope chest.

- May you be forced to visit a near-sighted proctologist.

- May a diseased yak squat in your hot tub.

- May a weird holy man drop a cactus down your shorts.

- May your Perrier water be secretly bottled in Tijuana.

**Fat Customer:** I want my money back. These shoes you sold me are as useless to me as a comb is to you. I only wore them once and they split at the sides!

**Al Bundy:** Well, let me explain. See, it’s just like an elevator, there’s a two ton weight limit on these shoes. What say I nail the soles directly to your feet? It’d give you more traction when your pulling the ice wagon!

**Fat Customer:** You’ll be hearing from my attorney!

In answer to the question “What’s she got that I don’t have?”

“What she’s got you can’t spell, and what you’ve got you used to have.”

I think this was from the movie _The Barefoot Contessa_. Too lazy to look it up. I’m so lazy…

Madonna threw “shade” at the rapper Drake. She had taken him by surprise by kissing him onstage and was roundly excoriated for it when a clip showed him looking shocked. She got back at him when she was asked if he was any good: “I kissed a girl, and I liked it,” she replied.
