twelve one liners
oh clouds that drift and hover above
a journey a trajectory and path unknown
ocean waves battering thundering to shores
oh woods where tangled vines creep birds sing
birds of many species singing with joy each day
flowers wild and unruly twining

One Liners
Today a man knocked on my door and asked for a small donation
towards the local swimming pool. I gave him a glass of water!
I used to think I was indecisive, but now I'm not too sure!
A recent study has found that women who carry a
little extra weight live longer than the men who mention it!

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

One Liners X Two
In New York someone gets
stabbed every 52 seconds! Poor bastard!
I wondered why the baseball
kept getting bigger. Then it hit me.
What animal can jump higher than a house?
Any animal houses can't jump.
How long is a Chinese name.
An apple a day keeps the doctor away
but an onion a day keeps everyone away.
No matter how much you

One Liners Number 4, Can You Believe It
For Sale: Parachute. Only used once, never opened, small stain
Definitely a sales pitch, the stain is very large
Remember half the people you know are below average
You're bloody well right, you're still in charge
Okay Scottie, now beam down my clothes, not funny
Think you can get away with that spacey stuff
What happens if you get scared half

One Liners Encore
A woman says to her dentist, “Don't know what's worse
Having a tooth pulled or having a baby”
Dentist says, “Must adjust the chair to make us more comfortable
So make up your mind, got others waiting”
A Chinese couple had a black baby, named it Sum Ting Wong
Are you giggling and peeing your kimono
Ever wonder what two-headed snakes

One Liners
Like to dedicate this to my late dad who was a roofer
So dad, if your up there... you nailed it
Now that sounded a bit disrespectful don't you think
Sorry, should strike the ladder from my script
You can't drink away alcoholism while lying in the gutter
So just take small sips on your couch
That way you'll be much
