I did a gig in the U.S. once for the homeless. I said 'It's nice to see so many bums on seats.'
My girlfriend said she wanted me to tease her, so I said "Alright, fatty."
When someone close to you dies, move seats.
People with Tourettes.....What makes them tick?
When you eat a lot of spicy food, you can lose your taste. When I was in India last summer, I was listening to a lot of Michael Bolton.
I was in the South of France. I saw a Brownie on a school trip. She was holding up a book. It said on the front 'rough guide'. I thought: 'Yeah' she's not a looker.
My mum told me the best time to ask my dad for anything was during sex. Not the best advice I'd ever been given. I burst in through the bedroom door saying "Can I have a new bike?". He was very upset. His secretary was surprisingly nice about it. I got the bike.

I'm not being condescending, I'm too busy thinking about far more important things you wouldn't understand.
I'm not worried about the Third World War. That's the Third World's Problem.
