“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
“A joke, even if it be a lame one, is nowhere so keenly relished or quickly applauded as in a murder trial.”
Mark Twain
“Our subconscious minds have no sense of humor, play no jokes and cannot tell the difference between reality and an imagined thought or image. What we continually think about eventually will manifest in our lives.”
Robert Collier
“I don't even want to talk about that. That's a joke. If he just plays like he's been playing, he doesn't need that put into his head. If he keeps that same demeanor, he'll be all right.”
Charlie Manuel
“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”
