A volume of surreal wisdom on life's pitfalls and unexpected events, such as: better not take a dog on the space shuttle, because if he sticks his head out when you're coming home his face might burn up and let's be honest - isn't a lot of what we call tap-dancing really just nerves?.

I think a good novel would be where a bunch of men on a ship are looking for a whale. They look and look, but you know what? They never find him. And you know why they never find him? It doesn't say. The book leaves it up to you, the reader, to decide. Then, at the very end, there's a page that you can lick and it tastes like Kool-Aid.
To me, it's a good idea to always carry two sacks of something around. That way, if anyone says, "Hey, can you give me a hand?" you can say, "Sorry, got these sacks."
Whenever someone asks me to define love, I usually think for a minute, then I spin around and pin the guy's arm behind his back. Now who's asking the questions?
Dad always thought laughter was the best medicine, which I guess was why several of us died of tuberculosis.
If you were a gladiator in olden days, I bet the inefficiency of how the gladiator fights were organized and scheduled would just drive you up a wall.
One day one of my little nephews came up to me and asked me if the equator was a real line that went around the Earth, or just an imaginary one. I had to laugh. Laugh and laugh. Because I didn't know, and I thought that maybe by laughing he would forget what he asked me.

I'm not afraid of insects taking over the world, and you know why? It would take about a billion ants just to aim a gun at me, let alone fire it.

I believe in making the world safe for our children, but not our children's children, because I don't think children should be having sex.
I wish there was a disease where you're afraid of clouds, because I think I could cure it. First, you sit the patient down and have a long personal talk. After that, I'm not sure, but maybe you could just throw some water in his face or something.
I think a new, different kind of bowling should be "carpet bowling." It's just like regular bowling, only the lanes are carpet instead of wood. I don't know why we should do this, but my God, we've got to try something!
