The Humor of Rodney Dangerfield

A girl phoned me the other day and said, "Come on over—there's nobody home. I went over.  Nobody was home."

When I played in the sandbox the cat kept covering me up.

I could tell that my parents hated me.   My bath toys were  a toaster and a radio.

My father carries around the picture of the kid who came with his wallet.

When I was born the doctor came out to the waiting room and said to my father, "I'm very sorry.  We did everything  we could. But he
pulled through."

My mother had morning sickness—after I was born.

I remember the time I was kidnapped and they sent a piece of  my finger to my father.  He said he wanted more proof.

Once when I was lost, I saw a policeman and asked him to help me find my parents.  I said to him, "Do you  think we'll ever find them?"
     He said, "I don't know kid. There are so many places they can hide."

My wife made me join a bridge club.  I jump off next Tuesday.

I worked in a pet shop and people kept asking how big I'd get.

I went to see my doctor.  "Doctor, every morning when I get up  and look in the mirror.  I feel like throwing up:  What's wrong with me?"
     He said, "I don't know, but your eyesight is perfect."

My psychiatrist told me I'm going crazy.
I told him, "If you don't mind I'd like a second
opinion."  He said, "All right—you're ugly too!"

When I was born the doctor took one look at my face, turned me over and said, "Look—twins!"

I went to the doctor because I'd swallowed a bottle of sleeping pills. My doctor told me to have a few drinks and get some rest.

resignation. I don't want to belong to any club that will accept me as a member."

I never forget a face, but in your case I'll be glad to make an exception.

You've got the brain of a four-year-old boy—and I bet he was glad to get rid of it.

Politics doesn't make strange bedfellows, marriage does.

This is so simple a nine-year-old child could understand it.  Run out and find me a nine-year-old child—I can't make head or tail of it.

I've been around so long, I knew Doris Day before she was a virgin.

Marriage is the chief cause of divorce.

Military justice is to justice what military music is to music.

The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing.  If you can fake that, you've got it made.

Politics is applesauce.

There's no trick to being a humorist when you have the whole government working for you.

This country has come to feel the same when Congress is in session as when the baby gets
hold of a hammer.

On account of being a democracy and run by the people, we are the only nation in the world that has to keep a government four years, no matter what it does.

I don't make jokes. I just watch the government and report the facts.

We can't all be heroes because somebody has to sit on the curb and clap as they go by.

An ignorant person is one who doesn't know what you have just found out.

Our constitution protects aliens, drunks and U.S. Senators.

The movies are the only business where you can go out front and applaud yourself.

The more you observe politics, the more you've got to admit that each party is worse than the other.


The Wit and Wisdom of Mark Twain

I was gratified to be able to answer promptly, and I did.  I said I didn't know.
     It's noble to be good, and it's nobler to teach others to be good, and less trouble.
     "Classic."  A book which people praise and don't read.
     Few of us can stand prosperity.  Another man's I mean.
     When I reflect upon the number of disagreeable people who I know have gone to a better world, I am moved to lead a different life.
     If a man could be crossed with the cat, it would improve man but it would deteriorate the cat.
     Hain't we got all the fools in town on our side?  And hain't that a big enough majority in any town?
     It is difference of opinion that makes horse races.
     Good breeding consists in concealing how much we think of ourselves and how little we think of the other person.
     Reports of my death are greatly exaggerated.
     When I was a boy of 14 my father was so ignorant I could hardly stand to have the old man around.  But when I got to be 21, I was astonished at how much he had learned in 7 years.
     Heaven for climate, Hell for society.
     I can live for two months on a good compliment.
     As to the adjective: when in doubt, strike it out.
     It could probably be shown by facts and figures that there is no distinctly native American criminal class except Congress.
     It is by the goodness of God that in our country we have those three unspeakably precious things:  freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, and the prudence never to practice either of them.
     Troubles are only mental; it is the mind that manufactures them, and the mind can forget them, banish them, abolish them.
     Courage is resistance to fear, mastery of fear—not absence of fear.
     Happiness ain't a thing in itself—it's only a contrast with something that ain't pleasant.
     Optimist:  day-dreamer more elegantly spelled.
     Man is the only animal that blushes.  Or needs to.
     It is curious—curious that physical courage should be so common in the world, and moral courage so rare.

     No one is willing to acknowledge a fault in himself when a more agreeable motive can be found for the estrangement of his acquaintances.
     I have been told that Wagner's music is a lot better than it sounds.
     If you pick up a starving dog and make him prosperous, he will not bite you.  This is the principal difference between a dog and a man.
     All I care to know is that a man is a human being—that is enough for me; he can't be much worse.
     It is difference of opinion that makes horse races.
     It is best to read the weather forecast before we pray for rain.
     I must have a prodigious quantity of mind; it takes me as much as a week, sometimes, to make it up.
     Training is everything.  The peach was once a bitter almond; cauliflower is nothing but cabbage with a college education.
     Thunder is good, thunder is impressive; but it is lightning that does the work.
     The difference between the right word and the wrong word is the difference between lightning and the lightning bug.
     Get your facts first . . . then you can distort 'em as much as you please.
     There are three kinds of lies:  lies, damned lies, and statistics.
     Against the assault of laughter, nothing can stand.

The Humor of Henny Youngman
