I was thinking today how much i like the old style of humor especially bob hope. heres some of his one liners i could find, Feel free to post your favorite old time jokes.
“You should have seen the Christmas cards I got this year. I got one card from Marilyn Monroe with a picture of her in a bathing suit. What a picture! You know how George Washington looks straight ahead on a two-cent stamp. Well, on this envelope, he kept peeking over his shoulder.”
“I wouldn't exactly say that Hollywood Boulevard is crowded with Christmas shoppers ... but when I was driving, I put my arm out to make a turn ... and when I took it back in, it was gift-wrapped.”
“But the crowds were very friendly ... honestly ... it was the pleasantest mob I ever lost a tooth in.”
“It's so crowded in Los Angeles these days ... if you get a sunburn you have to go to Glendale to peel.”
“My brother was a musician. His favorite was small combinations. He used to hum while he broke them open.”
“Eisenhower admitted the budget can't be balanced and McCarthy says the communists are taking over. You don't know what to worry about these days ... whether the country will be overthrown or overdrawn.”
DYING is to be avoided because it can ruin your whole career."
"I have this terrific make-up man. But he’s expensive. I have to bring him in from Lourdes."
"I don’t feel old. I don’t feel anything until noon. That’s when it’s time for my nap."
"Zsa Zsa Gabor got married as a one-off and it was so successful she turned it into a series."
"I see the Beatles have arrived from England. They were 40lb overweight - and that was just their hair."
"I thought Deep Throat was a movie about a giraffe."
"A bank is a place that will lend you money if you can prove that you don’t need it."
"She said she was approaching 40 and I couldn’t help wondering from what direction."
"A rather chubby lady walked by, and the panhandler went into his pitch and he said, ‘Ma’am I haven’t eaten in three days’. She said, ‘Gee I sure wish I had your willpower.’"
When she started to play, Steinway came down personally and rubbed his name off the piano."
"You know you are getting old when the candles cost more than the cake."
"I do benefits for all religions. I’d hate to blow the hereafter on a technicality."
"The Vietnam war finally ended in an agreement neither side intended to honour. It was like one of Zsa Zsa Gabor’s weddings."
"I remember my staff asking me when I was going to retire. I said when I could no longer hear the sound of laughter. He said, ‘That never stopped you before’."
