Quotable: Jack Handey


1. If you ever drop your keys into a river of molten lava, let'em go, because, man, they're gone.

 

2. If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about cutting them down?  We might, if they screamed all the time, for no good reason.

4. Is there anything more beautiful than a beautiful, beautiful flamingo, flying across in front of a beautiful sunset?  And he's carrying a beautiful rose in his beak, and also he's carrying a very beautiful painting with his feet.  And also, you're drunk.

8. Instead of having "answers" on a math test, they should just call them "impressions," and if you got a different "impression," so what, can't we all be brothers?
 
9. If you ever reach total enlightenment while you're drinking a beer, I bet it makes beer shoot out your nose.
 
10. I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate. And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it.
 
11. During the Middle Ages, probably one of the biggest mistakes was not putting on your armor because you were "just going down to the corner."
 
12. Sometimes I think you have to march right in and demand your rights, even if you don't know what your rights are, or who the person is you're talking to. Then on the way out, slam the door.
 
13. If you're a cowboy and you're dragging a guy behind your horse, I bet it would really make you mad if you looked back and the guy was reading a magazine.
 
14. Broken promises don't upset me.  I just think, why did they believe me?

Quotable: St. Patrick's Day

Click on the poster for a closer look

  1. May the Good Lord take a liking to you... but not too soon!
  1. Saint Patrick was a gentleman
    Who through strategy and stealth
    Drove all the snakes from
    Ireland
    Here's a drinkee to his health!
    But not too many drinkees
    Lest we lose ourselves and then...
    Forget the good Saint Patrick
    And see them snakes again!
  1. Why should you never iron a 4-leaf clover? You don't want to press your luck.

    One has just entered my head.
    If a man doesn't drink when he's living,
    How in the hell can he drink when he's dead?
  1. An Irishman is never drunk as long as he can hold onto one blade of grass to keep from falling off the earth.

    A cold beer – and another one!

Quotable: Timothy Leary

  1. I've left specific instructions that I do not want to be brought back during a Republican administration. 
  1. If you don't like what you're doing, you can always pick up your needle and move to another groove. 
  1. There are three side effects of acid: enhanced long-term memory, decreased short-term memory, and I forget the third.
  1. Think for yourself and question authority. 
  1. My advice to people today is as follows: if you take the game of life seriously, if you take your nervous system seriously, if you take your sense organs seriously, if you take the energy process seriously, you must turn on, tune in, and drop out. 
  1. Civilization is unbearable, but it is less unbearable at the top. 
  1. The universe is an intelligence test. 
  1. You're only as young as the last time you changed your mind.
  1. Science is all metaphor. 
  1. People use the word "natural" ... What is natural to me is these botanical   species which interact directly with the nervous system. What I consider artificial is 4 years at Harvard, and the Bible, and Saint Patrick's cathedral, and the sunday school teachings.
  1. If you want to change the way people respond to you, change the way you respond to people.
  1. "Drop Out" meant self-reliance, a discovery of one's singularity, a commitment to mobility, choice, and change. Unhappily my explanations of this sequence of personal development were often misinterpreted to mean "Get stoned and abandon all constructive activity."
  1. We are dealing with the best-educated generation in history.  They've got a brain dressed up with nowhere to go.
  1. The mark of a basic shit is that he can’t mind his own business.

  7. Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker?
  8. Why are a wise man and a wise guy opposites?

Quotable: Hunter S. Thompson


When the going gets weird, the weird turn pro.

There is nothing more helpless and irresponsible than a man in the depths of an ether binge.

The person who doesn't scatter the morning dew will not comb gray hairs

The music business is a cruel and shallow money trench, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side.

The Edge... there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over.

Politics is the art of controlling your environment.

It was the Law of the Sea, they said. Civilization ends at the waterline. Beyond that, we all enter the food chain, and not always right at the top.

In a closed society where everybody's guilty, the only crime is getting caught. In a world of thieves, the only final sin is stupidity.

If you're going to be crazy, you have to get paid for it or else you're going to be locked up.

I wouldn't recommend sex, drugs or insanity for everyone, but they've always worked for me.

I feel the same way about disco as I do about herpes.

Going to trial with a lawyer who considers your whole life-style a “Crime in Progress” is not a happy prospect.

For every moment of triumph, for every instance of beauty, many souls must be trampled.

America... just a nation of two hundred million used car salesmen with all the money we need to buy guns and no qualms about killing anybody else in the world who tries to make us uncomfortable.

Some may never live, but the crazy never die.

Quotable: Groucho Marx


A hospital bed is a parked taxi with the meter running.

Alimony is like feeding hay to a dead horse.

I sent a wire, resigning from my club - I don't care to belong to a club that accepts people like me as members.

I remember the first time I had sex - I kept the receipt.

Women should be obscene and not heard.

What do you get when you cross an insomniac, an agnostic, and a dyslexic? Someone who stays up all night wondering if there is a Dog.

One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got into my pajamas I'll never know.

I drink to make other people interesting.

Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others.

Whadaya say girls? Are we all gonna get married?
All of us? But that’s bigamy!”
Yes, and it’s big-a-me too.”

A woman is an occasional pleasure, a cigar is always a smoke.


Marry me and I'll never look at another horse.

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

Room service? Send up a larger room.

A man is only as old as the woman he feels.

I was married by a judge. I should have asked for a jury.

Quote me as saying I was mis-quoted.
