JOKE APERITIFS

“I love my country. Maybe that’s because I’m rich. I’m not technically rich, but I do have a lot of shit that I don’t need that I refuse to share with others. And that feels solid.” – Maria Bamford

“Did you ever think you’d live to see the day when the weatherman is the only one telling the truth on the news?” – Rick Overton

“Things change when you get married...When I first got married, I would walk around the house with no clothes on. My husband couldn’t keep his hands off of me. Now when I walk around the house with no clothes on, he says ‘Ain’t you Cold’?” – Roz Browne

“Gas has gotten so expensive. It’s so expensive, I thought about taking the bus tonight. I didn’t actually take the bus, that would be crazy, but I thought about it which is a big step.”
– Vance Sanders

“When a couple has been married a long time and one of them dies, the other one often dies shortly after. That’s especially true when it’s a murder-suicide.” – Robb Fulcher

“I have car insurance but no medical insurance, so whenever I get really sick I have to get in my car and smash it up.” – Denise Munro Robb

(Page 1 of 2)
“I just had a surprise party. I have to say it wasn’t much of a party. It was more like everyone I know just getting together to tell me I drink too much.” – Melinda Hill
“I just broke up with a guy...it’s hard breaking up with someone especially when you have to be the one that says it. ‘Listen, you’ve run out of money.’” – Natasha Leggero

“Someone asked Bush what he thought of impeachment. He said ‘I prefer apricot.’” – Dana Snow

“I’m against John McCain because of his age. I don’t want a president whose memories of World War II were as an adult!” – Gary Brussell

“I was married for two and a half years...that’s a long time if you break it down into half-hour segments.” – Charisse Savarin
