“My way of joking is telling the truth; that is the funniest joke in the world”
George Bernard Shaw
“And the thing about my jokes is, they don't hurt anybody. You can take 'em or leave 'em - you can say they're funny or they're terrible or they're good, or whatever, but you can just pass 'em by. But with Congress, every time they make a joke, it's a law! And every time they make a law, it's a joke!”
Will Rogers
“A joke, even if it be a lame one, is nowhere so keenly relished or quickly applauded as in a murder trial.”
Mark Twain
“The best ideas come as jokes. Make your thinking as funny as possible.”
David Ogilvy
“Whatever is funny is subversive, every joke is ultimately a custard pie... a dirty joke is a sort of mental rebellion.”
George Orwell
“'I was going to start off tonight by telling some self-deprecating jokes, but then I couldn't think of any mistakes I've made to be self-deprecating about.' –President Bush, at the White House Correspondents' dinner, poking fun at his performance in a recent news conference, in which he drew a blank when asked about mistakes he had made”
George W. Bush
