Funny Stories Quotes

For years I used to bore my wife over lunch with stories about funny incidents Picture Quote #1

I wish I had a funny story Picture Quote #1

The character and the actor in a long-running series slowly become one.

As a child, I’d always liked cowboys and Indians stories where there were two layers - gruesome in the foreground but funny in the background Picture Quote #1

Funny is as funny does, and funny puts on a walrus mask and slowly gyrates in a mall food court. I laugh at absurdity hardest, then stories, then observations, then bearded men on roller skates Picture Quote #1

I always have a funny story at communion time that underscores that no one is perfect, and that communion is not for perfect people but for hungry people Picture Quote #1

I come from a time when people like Bob Newhart and Bill Cosby told stories that were devastatingly funny without being off-color Picture Quote #1

What I usually do is tell funny stories from the road, many of which are, of course, unprintable. But I don’t actually have a joke. I don’t tell jokes much. I tell little stories Picture Quote #1

Mostly good is enough. Mostly good produces healthy kids who know they are valued and either forget the other parts or turn them into funny stories Picture Quote #1
