These might provide a brief 20 second respite to anyone having a rough day...

--Outside of a dog, a book is your best friend, and inside of a dog it's too dark to read.

--A child of five could understand this. Fetch me a child of five.

--I have had a perfectly wonderful evening, but this wasn't it.

--You've got the brain of a four-year-old boy, and I'll bet he was glad to get rid of it.

--Those are my principles. If you don't like them I have others.

--If you want to see a comic strip, you should see me in the shower.

--Anyone who says he can see through women is missing a lot.

There are many others of course, but my favourite is:-

--Time flies like an arrow, fruit flies like a banana

I haven't seen any of the films 😳

WHAT?? You';ve never seen a Marx Bros. Film? Get down to the video shop and start with "A Night at the Opera" - it's a panic!!

It took me three atttempts at watching it in one go - I was spliting my sides laughing!

Thanks for the recommendation...I'll check it out. I've heard "Duck Soup" (is that right?) is supposed to be good too.

Oh yeah, "Duck Soup" is one of the best. As is "A Day at The Races".

A lot of the old movies are really rapid-fire with the humour. I've watched "A Night at ther Opera" about 10 times now (it's *THAT* good - one of my top 10) and I still find new gags (mostly dirty jokes snuck in past the censors).

Grouch wrote a couple of books as well: a bit disappointing but worth picking up.

You guys have peeked my interest! I'll have to rent the movies as well. I've seen a couple but it was so long ago that I don't remember much except laughing... and laughing... and laughing... you know, one of the laughs where your stomach muscles get sore. 🙄
