“I don't mind making jokes, but I don't want to look like one.”
Marilyn Monroe
“A joke, even if it be a lame one, is nowhere so keenly relished or quickly applauded as in a murder trial.”
Mark Twain
“Suppose the world were only one of God's jokes, would you work any the less to make it a good joke instead of a bad one?”
George Bernard Shaw
“It is not necessary for the public to know whether I am joking or whether I am serious, just as it is not necessary for me to know it myself”
Salvador Dalí
“It's only funny till someone gets hurt........then it's hilarious”
Tre Cool
“A joke is not a thing but a process, a trick you play on the listener's mind. You start him off toward a plausible goal, and then by a sudden twist you land him nowhere at all or just where he didn't expect to go.”
Max Eastman
“Be not affronted at a joke. If one throw salt at thee, thou wilt receive no harm, unless thou art raw.”
Oliver Goldsmith
