photographs of her." –Ellen DeGeneres

find Kuwait."  –A. Whitney Brown

that pigs trying to outsmart everybody?" –Jon Stewart

"If God doesn’t destroy Hollywood Boulevard, he owes Sodom and Gomorrah an
apology."  –Jay Leno

men. I just want to say to the authors of that study: Duh." –Conan O’Brien

"I don’t know what’s wrong with my television set. I was getting C-Span and the
Home Shopping Network on the same station. I actually bought a congressman."  
–Bruce Baum

"I had a linguistics professor who said that it’s man’s ability to use language
that makes him the dominant species on the planet. That may be. But I think there’s one

"Did you ever walk in a room and forget why you walked in? I think that’s how dogs
spend their lives." –Sue Murphy

‘This looks much better on.’ On what? On fire?" –Rita Rudner

clippers right here.’"  –Jerry Seinfeld

together. Solution? I sent them to her dad." –Christopher Case

notice. There should be severance pay, and before they leave you, they should have to find
you a temp."  –Bob Ettinger
