I know a man who gave up smoking, drinking, sex, and rich food. He was healthy right up to the day he killed himself.
Mail your packages early so the post office can lose them in time for Christmas.
Happiness is seeing your son drafted the same day he's been accepted to an expensive college.
The price of Christmas toys is outrageous - a hundred dollars, two hundred dollars for video games for the youngsters. I remember a Christmas years ago when my son was a kid. I bought him a tank. It was about a hundred dollars, a lot of money in those days. It was the kind of tank you could actually get inside and ride in. He played in the box it came in. It taught me a very valuable lesson. Next year he got a box. And I got a hundred dollars' worth of scotch.
When a comic becomes enamored with his own views and foists them off on the public in a polemic way, he loses not only his sense of humor but his value as a humorist.
I would like to say, for the record, that I am in favor of using more American Indians and other minorities in motion pictures, I am against polluting the oceans of the world, I am for every nationality having its own homeland, I am against whacking baby seals on the head, and I am for saving the whales.
Never ask your wife if she still hears from her old pimp.
Happiness is discovering the prune juice your doctor ordered you to drink has fermented.
If God didn't want man to hunt, He wouldn't have given us plaid shirts.
I have no use for eight houses, 88 cars and 500 suits. I can't eat but one steak at a time. I don't want but one woman. It's silly to have as one's sole object in life just making money, accumulating wealth.
Happiness is having a rare steak, a bottle of whiskey, and a dog to eat the rare steak.
Happiness is your dentist telling you it won't hurt and then having him catch his hand in the drill.
I loved the towns I grew up in as a boy, and after I became a celebrity, I went back several times. I would have had the time of my life seeing the old places and the old faces again, but the attitude of those same people was, "I guess you're so big we bore you now."
In Hollywood if you don't have a shrink, people think you're crazy.
