Favourite one-liners
Mae West:-
“A man in the house is worth two in the street”
“You gotta get up early in the morning to catch a fox and stay up late at night to get a mink”
“When women go wrong, men go right after them”
“Men aren’t attracted to me by my mind. They’re attracted by what I don’t mind”
“It’s not the men in my life that counts, it’s the life in my men”
“A hard man is good to find”
“Keep a diary and someday it’ll keep you”
“She’s the kind of girl who climbed the ladder of success, wrong by wrong”
“I’ve found that too much of a good thing can be wonderful”
“I never hated a man enough to give him his diamonds back”
“Between two evils, I always pick the one I never tried before”
“Marriage is a great institution, but I’m not ready for an institution”
“Give a man a free hand and he’ll run it all over you”
“Sometimes it seems to me that I’ve known so many men that the FBI ought to come to me first to compare fingerprints”
On being told that ten men were waiting to meet her at her home: “I’m tired, send one of them home”

Re: Favourite one-liners
Groucho Marx:-
A man's only as old as the woman he feels.
Behind every successful man is a woman, behind her is his wife.
I find television very educational. Every time someone switches it on I go into another room and read a good book.
I never forget a face, but in your case I'll be glad to make an exception.
I was married by a judge. I should have asked for a jury.
In Hollywood, brides keep the bouquets and throw away the groom.
Next time I see you, remind me not to talk to you.
Those are my principles, and if you don't like them... well, I have others.
I thought my razor was dull, then I heard his speech.
When I invite a woman to dinner I expect her to look at my face. That's the price she has to pay!
I’m so ugly that my mother had morning sickness after I was born.
You've got the brain of a four-year-old boy, and I'll bet he was glad to get rid of it.
A moose is an animal with horns on the front of his head and a hunting lodge wall on the back of it.
Here's to our wives and girlfriends... may they never meet!
I didn't like the play, but then I saw it under adverse conditions — the curtain was up.
I have nothing but respect for you, and not much of that.
I made a killing on Wall Street a few years ago...I shot my broker.
I remember the first time I had sex — I kept the receipt.
I'm not feeling very well, I need a doctor immediately. Ring the nearest golf course.
If you fall out of that window and break both your legs, don't come running to me.
If you've heard this story before, don't stop me, because I'd like to hear it again.
It isn't necessary to have relatives in Kansas City in order to be unhappy.
Now, there's a man with an open mind. You can feel the breeze from here.
Only one man in a thousand is a leader of men. The other 999 follow women.
Outside of a dog, a book is man's best friend. Inside of a dog, it's too dark to read.
Paying alimony is like feeding hay to a dead horse.
Politics is the art of looking for trouble, finding it everywhere, diagnosing it incorrectly, and applying the wrong remedies.
She got her looks from her father. He's a plastic surgeon.
The husband who wants a happy marriage should learn to keep his mouth shut and his cheque book open.
The secret of success is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake those, you've got it made.
I intend to live forever, or die trying.
Age is not a particularly interesting subject. Anyone can get old. All you have to do is live long enough.
Die, my dear? Why that's the last thing I'll do!

Re: Favourite one-liners
Two regular one-liners from my three-year-old grand-daughter :
(a) " Grandad - have you brought me any chocolate buttons..?"
(b) - (about two minutes after buttons handed over) : " Grandad - are you going home soon...?"

Re: Favourite one-liners
We were going round the Supermarket buying the usual stuff, when I put a litre of Malt in the trolley. This brought a tirade of "Truthfull Anecdotes" from Mrs A. in the tone that most of the store could hear.
I turned to the woman standing next to me, you could see she was "lost for words" and quietly asked while shaking my head - "Madam, do you talk to YOUR lord and master like that?"
That was when female (?) number two was on my case! This lady started picking on her husband like it was all HIS fault (he did have more than a wry smile on his face!) AH shopping!

Re: Favourite one-liners
"My wife and I were happy for twenty years. Then we met."
(Rodney Dangerfield)
After a quarrel, a wife said to her husband: "You know, I was a fool when I married you". The husband replied: "Yes, dear, but I was in love and didn't notice".
At a cocktail party, one woman said to another: "Aren't you wearing your wedding ring on the wrong finger?" The other woman replied: "Yes I am, I married the wrong man".
Advert in a newspaper - "Wedding dress for sale, £100. Worn once by mistake."
A man said that his credit card had been stolen but he had decided not to report it, since the thief was spending less than his wife did.

From a wit whose name I cannot recall at present:
" Your book is both good and original . Alas, the parts which are good are not original, and the parts that are original are not good..."
