    Anything from Jack Handy.

    He was a comedian and did a sketch on Saturday night Live which was just him saying these things he made up. Example:
    <font face="Verdana, Arial" size="2">If you were an ancient barbarian, I bet a real embarrassing thing would be if you were sacking Rome and your cape got caught on something and you couldn't get it unhooked, and you had to ask another barbarian to unhook it for you.</font>

    I'd have loved to see these sketches, but I've only read them on the internet (do a search for Jack Handy's Deep Thoughts). He was probably one of the funniest guys thatsever lived smile.gif

    here, here and here.

    It's a line from Nirvana's wonderfully calming, soothing and melodic tune (???!) "Territorial P|ssings" on the Nevermind album.

    Why's nobody mentioned Winston Churchil:


    Lady Astor (it seems): Winston, I do believe you're drunk.

    Churchill: Yes, my dear, but you're ugly. And in the morning, I'll be sober.


    And a personal favourite of mine (from a dodgy programming joke...): "let's put it back on toppa the hill and see if it crashes again".


    One more...

    "The man had a point. As a matter of fact, he had a whole sword." Or something similar, from Jingo by Terry Pratchett.. biggrin.gif

    Given that I heard that quote long before Nirvana ever existed, I very much doubt thars where it came from. This does not, however, preclude the possibility that its where you first heard it.

    One of my favourite quotes is froma plaque on a wall in a bar in Dublin...which I'm sure is not the original source smile.gif

    Terry Pratchett and Neil Gaiman's "Good Omens"

    Newton Pulsifer is talking about the Queen to Sgt. Shadwell (Witch finder Sergant) in the middle of a job interview (over the phone) to become a Witch finder when Sgt. Shadwell, an old English country man, interupts...

    Shadwell: "How many nipples ?"

    Newton: "Pardon!!!"

    Shadwell: "Nipples laddie nipples, how many nipples h'ar ye ?"

    Newton: "Two I hope"

    I almost exploded laughing at that.

    And my siggy of course:


    But oh, no tears please, fear and pain may acompany death, but it is desire that sheperds its certainty, as we shall see...
