Quotes

From comedian Jack Handy:

"We tend to scoff at the beliefs of the ancients. But we can't scoff at them personally, to their faces, and this is what annoys me."

"Probably the earliest flyswatters were nothing more than some sort of striking surface attached to the end of a long stick."

"If you ever fall off the Sears Tower, just go real limp, because maybe you'll look like a dummy and people will try to catch you because, hey, free dummy."

"Whenever I see an old lady slip and fall on a wet sidewalk, my first instinct is to laugh. But then I think, what if I was an ant, and she fell on me. Then it wouldn't seem quite so funny."

"If you're robbing a bank and your pants fall down, I think it's okay to laugh and to let the hostages laugh too because, come on, life is funny."

From musicians:

"In opera, there is always too much singing." -Debussy
