You can`t buy love but you can pay heavily for it!

You look like a talent scout for a cemetery!

I know a man who doesn`t pay to have his trash taken out, how does he get rid of his trash, he gift wraps it and puts it into an unlocked car!

A doctor gave a man six months to live, the man couldn`t pay his bill so he gave him another six months!

While playing golf today I hit two good balls, I stepped on a rake!

  1. Thank you for a question about Henny Youngman!  

    He brought laughter (and a few groans of mirth) into my life for 50 years; and today, as I remember his classic one-liners, he still makes me laugh -- I never tire of hearing or reading them.  

    Henny spent seven decades of his almost 92 years (1906-1998) in this world making people laugh with his schtick of snappy one-liners, delivered in a rapid-fire, shoot-from-the-lip style.  As a comic, he always refrained from vulgarities and enjoyed the innocence of a good clean joke.

    Dubbed "the king of the one-liners" by Walter Winchell, Henny wrote a funny and touching autobiography titled "Take My Life, Please!" (1991).  Also available is his 1989 book  "10,000 One-Liners, An Encyclopedia of One-Liners."

    He enjoyed his own one-liners.  He would come on stage with his violin and often begin by saying:  "I was so ugly when I was born, the doctor slapped my mother."  

    The internet is filled with his humour and we are richer for it.  Here are but a few examples:

    "Great. Is Mr. Schwartz in?"

    "No, it's his day off."

    "All right. How about Mr. Schwartz then?"

    "He's retired--no longer with the organization."

    "Ah. Well, uh, may I speak with Mr. Schwartz?"
