Notes About The Poem

Old One Liners

For example, take my wife—Please!

Who was that lady you were dancing with?
That was no lady—That was my wife!

I bought my husband a chair for his birthday
He won’t even let me plug it in!

I told my doctor I have five es
He said—My god!  How does your underwear fit?
I said—Like a glove!

I found my best friend in bed with my wife
I said Lenny!  I have to—but you?

Just got back from a pleasure trip
Took my mother-in-law back to the airport

I told my father, no one likes me
He said—Don’t worry, everyone hasn’t met you yet

That man’s nuts!  Grab ‘em!

Money is relative—
I have less money than any of my relatives

I’m on a sea food diet
I see food—I eat it
