Favourite jokes and one-liners.

this one is maybe a little tired but i like it:
"I spent 90% of my money on women, drink and fast cars. The rest I wasted." - George Best.

hmn. i guess that isn't a joke or a one-liner... carry on!

Maybe a bit too mainstream but it made me laugh.

This city girl gets moved out of London to the countryside during the blitz and is terrified on hearing a twit-to-woo noise in the trees.

Wassat?
It's only an owl?
I know it was an owl but what owled it?

edit: dammit, just noticed I mispelled owl which kind of makes the whole thing make no sense.

"Where have you been Mrs Parker - we haven't seen you in a while."
"I've been fucking busy and vice versa."

In general I like ones where it hinges on a mispronunciation but it kinda works in reverse - I mean the person hears the other person's correct pronunciation of a word as a different word which they pronounce incorrectly eg

Sean Connery's agent phones him up and says - I've got a job for you tomorrow, but they want you pretty early, be there for ten-ish

Sean replies - Tenish? But I don't have a racket.

yeah, but much more about lee's story-telling abilities and ability to work every last laugh out of a situation.

his new set contains another 15minute long 'bit' revolving largely around one sentence repeated/extrapolated over and over. it's high-art comedy, but it's fucking funny.
