Subject: One Liners From: Amos Date: 09 Feb 00 - 11:40 PM To warm the crowd up, fill in between songs, tide over a broken string: use one liners! Here are a few and there a millions waiting to flock to this l'i'l thread from all across Nudcat Flats. Bring 'em on in. We'' make a collection and send 'em to Rick FIelding!
"If we do happen to step on a mine, Sir, what do we do?" "Normal procedure, Lieutenant, is to jump 200 feet in the air and scatter oneself over a wide area." -- Somewhere in No Man's Land, BA4 You're so lazy, that if you woke up with nothing to do today, you'd go to bed with it only half done. You might be a physics major... if you'll assume that a "horse" is a "sphere" in order to make the math easier. Roll on, ye Cats! A |

Subject: RE: BS: One Liners From: catspaw49 Date: 09 Feb 00 - 11:54 PM The greats often used more than one line, as exhibited here by the brilliant Gerge S. Kaufman (slightly paraphrased for "brevity"): If you were to take the Mt. Palomar telescope and somehow mount it inside the Wilson telescope and look through this combination, you would be unable to detect any interest I might have in your problem. Spaw |

Subject: RE: BS: One Liners From: ddw Date: 10 Feb 00 - 12:02 AM A couple of my favorites in the last few days are: "I'll try to be nicer if you'll try to be smarter," and one from last Friday's Royal Canadian Air Farce show, describing the beating Mike Tyson put on his British opponent, Julius Francis: "Tyson beat Francis so badly, he though he was on a date." In the same skit they warned viewers that what they were about to show was not pretty and they suggested viewer discretion. Then they flashed up a "before" picture of Francis, followed by an "after" shot — of Camilla Parker Bowles. I missed the next skit. david |

Subject: RE: BS: One Liners From: Amos Date: 10 Feb 00 - 12:03 AM Well, I guess, now that 'Spaw has clarified the thing, that we should include anything short enough to be told briefly, whether one line of a few. Thank you for your Wisdom, sir Spaw.

Subject: RE: BS: One Liners From: wysiwyg Date: 10 Feb 00 - 12:47 AM I was born in the morning, but not this morning. He who blushes is not yet a brute. OK, they aren't one liners, but sometimes a snide retort is more fun for the teller, think of these as anti-heckler lines for all those hecklers out front. I know you think folkies don't get hecklers but that's only a sign you aren't playing in enough nursing homes or that there's no liquor license where you play. This thread needs to include our self-deprecating band introductions that are so funny (to us). Ours is, "Hi, we're the Good News-Goodtime Band. We specialize in playing for deaf people who can't leave and tonight it's your turn. We're not performers, which you'll find out shortly, but we're loud and we're here to lead the fun-- and you'll need to sing with us so we'll sound a lot better. That's the Goodtime. The Good News is there'll only be one set." |

Subject: RE: BS: One Liners From: GUEST,Roger the skiffler Date: 10 Feb 00 - 04:48 AM THREAD CREEP WARNING: and if you need longer time to change string, instrument, get your breath back, have a drink, there's this shaggy dog story, intended as a lead in to Blue Suede Shoes but can be adapted: Fame is largely dependent on what the media tells us, for example the Pope visited Cuba recently. Tight news blackout to avoid encouraging Catholic enthusiasm so rumours spread that someone famous was coming but they didn't know who. Plane land, Pope kisses tarmac, met by Foreign Minister: "Welcome to Cuba, Mr Presley". Pope "I'm not Elvis Presley, I'm the Pope". FR "Oh, Sorry, your Holiness" [pad story out with similar encounters on way to hotel]. Pope gets to hotel taking shower,knock at door, goes to door in towel [funny place for door -Oh,do get on with it, Roger] opens door,sees beautiful Cuban temptress, long black hair all down her back [none on her head, just down her back Roger! I've warned you..], short red dress, lovely brown eyes: "Oh, Mr Presley, I've always wanted to meet you!". Pope :" My child,[sings] It'sa one for the money, two for the show...."

Subject: RE: BS: One Liners From: catspaw49 Date: 10 Feb 00 - 10:06 AM That's because you are, quite obviously, easily impressed.

"Closing time, every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end." Ahhh...now there's a one liner. And a very important thought in my book. BTW another good Andy M. Stewart one-liner is "Everytime I come to America it rains. How do you people manage to live in a place like this?" --Mbo |

Subject: RE: BS: One Liners From: Midchuck Date: 10 Feb 00 - 10:31 AM A husband-and-wife duo we used to go to see a lot had a thing they would do for their own satisfaction, rather than the audience's, when they were playing a bar gig in a noisy bar, where only a handful of us sitting right up front were listening. At the end of the evening, as they closed up, the lady would smile radiantly at the audience, and say, very warmly, "F*** you, f*** you very much!" No one whom it was intended for ever noticed.

Subject: RE: BS: One Liners From: Blackcat2 Date: 10 Feb 00 - 10:51 AM Classic from the Blues Brothers - "Good night - you don't have to go home, but you can't stay here!" From Tom Waits, Spider Robinson, T-Bone Stankus etal : I'd rather have a free bottle in front of me than a pre-frontal lobotomy. (to me, a wonderful variation of that line) From Liam Clancy to an audience - "Why don't we all join hands and contact the living?" From Jeff Howell (local Orlando performer): "This next song is my favorite damn song!" (spoken before launching into about a third of the songs in each set.) also from Jeff: "This is a song I wrote by the Beatles." (or by Jim Croce or whoever wrote the song.) W.C. Fields when an ignorant fool asked if he'd like his whiskey with water: "Water ugnh! Fish fuck in it!" "This is one of your favorite songs and I hope it's one of mine." pax yall |

Subject: RE: BS: One Liners From: wysiwyg Date: 10 Feb 00 - 05:53 PM from a friend: Seems that a while ago, some Boeing employees in the field decided to steal a life raft from one of the 747s. They were successful in getting it out of the plane and home. When they took it for a float on the Stilliguamish River, they were quite surprised by a Coast Guard helicopter homing in on the emergency locator that is activated when the raft is inflated. They are no longer employed at Boeing. *************************************** I saw a lady at work today putting a credit card into her floppy drive and pulling it out very quickly. I inquired as to what she was doing. She said she was shopping on the Internet, and they asked for a credit card number so she was using the ATM "thingy." |

Subject: RE: BS: One Liners From: catspaw49 Date: 10 Feb 00 - 08:01 PM Dorothy Parker, upon the death of her husband, was asked by some poor woman, "Is there anything I can get you?" She replied, "Another man." The woman was appalled (she must not have known Dorothy Parker) and showed her displeasure to which Parker responded, "OK then, get me a ham sandwich." Geeziz, I would have given anything to have been a fly on the wall at the Algonquinn Round Table. Those people had sarcastic wit down to a science. Woolcott, Parker, and of course, the quickest wit that may ever have lived, George Kaufman. He was at a dinner party with another boring and chatty female guest. When she paused (briefly) in her ramblings, Kaufman asked, "Madam, do you have any UN-expressed thoughts?" Even as a child he had it. Someone he disliked, a relative I believe, was coming for a visit and his mother said (as all parents do), "It wouldn't hurt to be nice to her." George responded, "Well, that would depend upon your threshold of pain." Spaw |

Subject: RE: BS: One Liners From: Midchuck Date: 10 Feb 00 - 08:24 PM Here (in Rutland County, VT) we have Lake Bomoseen, in which lies Neshobe Island. Wolcott used to own it, and the whole Round Table vacationed there. One story is that Dorothy Parker arrived with no luggage except a large hat box, containing a large sun hat, which was her costume for the weekend. The other legend is that Harpo Marx took it upon himself to protect the group from trespassers - people who landed boats on the island to see what was going on. He did this by leaping out of the bushes and running at them, naked and howling abuse. There's a song there. Someday I'll get it written. Peter. |
|
Subject: RE: BS: One Liners From: catspaw49 Date: 10 Feb 00 - 08:33 PM I think the Harpo story is more true than apocryphal. The Marx's were incredible characters. Always found it interesting that Woolcott and Harpo were such buddies. Opposites do attract. Spaw |

When he was born the doctor took a look and slapped his mother. troll is also the alter ego of John, a mild mannered postal worker in sunny Florida. John would never make bad jokes and especially not in a public forum. But troll would. Actually, John is retired from the PO. He was starting to worry them. He smiled a lot. They thought he was up to something. He wasn't. He had merely gotten the joke. troll |

Subject: RE: BS: One Liners From: Troll Date: 14 Feb 00 - 01:22 PM It is not troll the ancient yuletide carol, but troll the ancient. If I went trolling for Carol, my wife would have my head on a platter a'la John the Baptist! And I have paid my toll thank you very much! Death is natures way of telling you to slow down. More for hecklers. (I've played some tough places) I'm trying to imagine you with a personality. You must use that personality for birth control. If I throw a stick, Will you leave? I like you. You remind me of when I was young and stupid. I see you've set aside this special time to humiliate yourself in public. And lastly: I'm already visualizing the duct tape over your mouth. troll |

Subject: RE: BS: One Liners From: wysiwyg Date: 14 Feb 00 - 01:33 PM From the mouth of an Alabamian: She was so ugly she coudn't sneak up on a stump. They hit him with the ugly stick, and they used the whole tree. She ain't wrapped too tight. Don't get your panties in a wad. (Other regions' variants, knickers in a twist, etc.) From my mother: When they were handing out brains, she thought they said trains, so she asked for a slow one. (There are hundreds of variants) An old one: Did you hear about the [ethnic group] [or hair color] bank robber? S/he tied up the safe and blew the guard. |

Subject: RE: BS: One Liners From: Fortunato Date: 14 Feb 00 - 01:34 PM Here's a few: You're so lazy, that if you woke up with nothing to do today, you'd go to bed with it only half done. It's no fun to drink alone until you've had a few. Good evening, ladies, gentlemen, and those of you who have had the operation The early bird may get the worm but the second mouse gets the cheese. I'm trying to look at things from your point of view, but I can't get my head that far up my ass. And remember, if you are baroque, it just means that you are out of Monet. I remember the first time I kissed a girl; we were seventeen. Seventeen? Yes. She was eight and I was nine, and that made us seventeen I was married by a judge. I should have asked for a jury. Marriage (Divorce) has allowed me to I work myself up from nothing to a state of extreme poverty. On our second honeymoon my wife and I went back to the hotel where we spent our wedding night. Only this time, I stayed in the bathroom and cried. The drummer's girl friend had long blonde hair. It was a foot long and grew out of her left nostril. She caught a cold and almost flogged herself to death. I don't like to drink...but it's the only way I can get it down. Cheers, Fortunato

Subject: RE: BS: One Liners From: GUEST,Jim Dixon Date: 14 Feb 00 - 08:11 PM My favorite source of one-liners (and two-liners) is comedian Steven Wright. Examples: "The sign in the restaurant said, 'Breakfast any time', so I said 'I'll have French toast during the Renaissance.'" "Right now I'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time. I think I've forgotten this before." "I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specifically." There are dozens of web sites that list these. Use your search engine to find them. |

Subject: RE: BS: One Liners From: BlueJay Date: 05 Mar 00 - 02:05 PM W.C.Fields, on his deathbed, was seen to be reading The Bible. When asked what he was doing, he replied, "Looking for loopholes". Harold Ross, possibly to James Thurber, interviewing for a position at The New Yorker: "...and don't think you'll be starting as a reporter. You'll begin as Managing Editor like everyone else". The Dorothy Parker line listed in GUEST, Frankie's post was her response when asked to use the word "horticulture" in a sentence: "You can lead a horticulture but you can't make her think". A lady remarked to James Thurber that his stories seemed even funnier in French than in English. He said, "Yes, I always seem to lose something in the original". At first, I was hesitant to join The Mudcat Cafe. As Groucho Marx so aptly put it: "I would never belongto any club that would allow me as a member". |
