Oh! I thought of another one. This is probably the one single joke that I have laughed out loud at the most times in my life; it’s from the old “Pink Panther” cartoon show.

> [@](#):

> _Inspector Clouseau walks down the sidewalk. He encounters a man standing there with a small dog. Clouseau and the man both have nearly-impenetrable French accents._
> 
> Clouseau: Pardon me; does your dog bite? [“Pahrduhn meuh; duhz yeur dhog buhte?”]
> 
> Man: Why no… [“Wah neu…”]
> 
> _Dog chomps savagely onto Clouseau’s leg._
> 
> Clouseau: AIEEEE! I thought you said your DOG does not BITE! [“AIEEEE! Ah SOT yeuh sid yeur DHOG deuz nuht BAHTE!”]
> 
> Man (totally deadpan): That’s not my dog. [“Zaht’s nuht muh dheug.”]

If you really overdo the accents, it’s a scream.

I often catch myself grinning madly, in response to no external stimulus; it’s usually because I’m thinking to myself, “Zaht’s nuht muh dheug.”

A few weeks ago I was channel surfing and came upon a documentary about a very obese woman who had had surgery to help her lose weight. The incision had become infected and had to be debrided every day. It looked like an open smiling mouth. Upon seeing it, I immediately said, “Helloooooo!” in a deep, jolly voice ala Jerry Seinfeld in the episode where he pretended his girlfriend’s belly button was doing that.

Then I felt guilty for making light of this woman’s situation.

I like it, I like it a lawt, said in a Jim Carreyesque way.

And, as silly as this will sound, “It’s not quite dead yet,” which I think I picked up from a Addams Family pinball machine.

My precious! (Gollum voice)

In a Peter Lorre voice: Yes! (When planning some mischief.)

When answering a rhetorical question in a silly way “Because the jellyfish will it so, WHY ELSE?!” Said rapidly, in a not entirely sane tone of voice. (From the Vampire: Bloodlines PC game, in reply to a question abuot why Vampires exist from the scholar Beckett if your character is a Malkavian.)

Well, I never! Said in a hoity toity madam tone.
