  • Did you hear about the Broadway actor who broke through the floorboards? He was just going through a stage
  • What did the ill comic say in the hospital? "I'm here...all weak!"
  • Charles Dickens walks into a bar and orders a martini. The bartender asks, "Olive or twist?"
  • Posted in a dental office: "Be kind to your dentist. He has fillings too."
  • "The main advantage of being famous is that when you bore people at dinner parties, they think it is their fault." -Henry Kissinger, Nobel Peace Prize, 1973
  • As Groucho Marx once said, "A laugh is like an aspirin, only it works twice as fast."
