"My father can beat your father."
   "Big deal. So can my mother."

   Am I the first girl you've kissed?"
   "Might be - your face looks familiar."

   "Do you think I"ll lose my looks as I get older?"
   "Yes if you're lucky."

   "Do you want to buy a hand mirror?"
   "No, I want one I can see my face in."

   We had nothing in common.
   She was a girl and I was a man.

   I was thinking of becoming a doctor.
   I have the handwriting for it.

   They lived happily until they got married.

   "Why did you hit your wife with a chair?"
   "I couldn't lift the table."

   My friend has a fine watch dog.
   At any suspicious noise he wakes the dog and the dog
   begins to bark.

   "When I saw you driving down the road, I guessed 55 at
   least."
   "You're wrong, officer, it's only my hat that makes me
   look that old."

   We have a quiet home life.
   I don't speak to her and she doesn't speak to me.

   "I passed your house yesterday."
   "Thanks I appreciate it."

   "Where did you get those big eyes?"
   "They came with the face."

   "Are you familiar with Grace Smith ?"
   "I tried it once and she slapped my face."

   "Say you love me! Say you love me!"
   "You love me!"

   "What do use for washing dishes?"
   "Oh, I tried many things but found my  husband best."

   "How is your wife getting along on her reducing diet?"
   "Fine. She vanished last night."


   They call our language the mother tongue because
   the father seldom gets to speak.

   It was love at first sight.
   Then I took a second look.

   "Look, guide, here are some lion  tracks."
   "Good. You see where they go and I'll find out where
   they came from."

   "Why don't you give your husband a divorce?"
   "What, I have lived with him for ten years and now I
   should make him happy?"

   "Guilty. Ten days or twenty dollars?"
   "I'll take the twenty dollars, Judge."

   "Young man, do you think you can handle a variety of
   work?"
   "I ought to be able to. I've had 12 different jobs in
   four months."

   There are two kinds of secrets : one is not worth keeping
   and the other is too good to keep.

   "Say, waiter, what's the difference between the one
   dollar steak and two dollar steak?
   "The two dollar steak costs exactly one dollar more."

   "I gotta 'A' in spelling."
   "You dope! There isn't any 'A' in spelling."

   My wife is always talking about a trip to Europe.
   I have no objections - I let her talk.

   "Room Service? Can you send up a  towel?"
   "Please wait someone else is using it."

   There's one thing good about being poor  - its
   inexpensive.

   Summer must be over.
   My neighbour just returned my lawn furniture

   Memory is what tells a man his wedding  anniversary was
   yesterday.

   An unmarried man has no buttons on his shirt.
   A married man has no shirt.

   "My uncle has a cedar chest."
   "My uncle has a wooden leg."


   "I want some current literature."
   "Here are some books on electric  lightning."

   There are two kinds of friends : those who are around
   when you need them, and those who are around when they
   need you.

   A modern artist is one who throws paint on canvas, wipes
   it off with a cloth and sells the cloth.

   "What did one ghost say to another?"
   "Do you believe in people?"

   No man is justified for spitting in another man's face
   unless his moustache is on fire.

   In France the cops are so polite,I put my hand out for a
   left turn and a cop kissed it.

   "Were you in Paris on your vacation?"
   "I don't know my husband got the tickets."

   He met her in a revolving door and has been going around
   with her ever since.

   I went alone on our honeymoon.
   My wife had already seen Niagara Falls.
