"Whether they ever find life there or not, I think Jupiter should be considered an enemy planet."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Why is it that we will laugh at a man in a clown outfit, but we won't laugh at a man just walking down the street carrying a clown outfit in one of those plastic dry-cleaner bags?"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Probably the earliest fly swatters were nothing more than some sort of striking surface attached to the end of a long stick."

"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?"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I remember we were all horrified to see Grandpa up on the roof with his Superman cape on. 'Get down!' yelled Uncle Lou. 'Don't move!' screamed Grandma. But Grandpa wouldn't listen. He walked to the edge of the roof and stuck out his arms, like he was going to fly. I forget what happened after that."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"If you ever catch on fire, try to avoid seeing yourself in the mirror, because I bet that's what really throws you into a panic."

"Dad always thought laughter was the best medicine, which I guess was why several of us died of tuberculosis."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I don't think God put me on this planet to judge others. I think he put me on this planet to gather specimens and take them back to my home planet."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"If you're an ant, and ypu're walking across the top of a cup of pudding, you probably have no idea that the only thing between you and disaster is the strength of that pudding skin."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Just because swans mate for life, I don't think it's that big of a deal. First of all, if you're a swan, you're probably not going to find a swan that looks that much better than one you've got, so why not mate for life."

That way, when you want to ask a question, you just push the button and it lights up a corresponding number on a tote board at the front of the class.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's easy to sit and scoff at an old man's folly. But also, check out his Adam's apple!"

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"There are many stages to a man's life. In the first stage, he is young and eager, like a beaver. In the second stage, he wants to build things, like dams, and maybe chew down some trees. In the third stage, he feels trapped, and then 'skinned.' I'm not sure what the fourth stage is."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"If you're traveling in a time machine, and you're eating corn on the cob, I don't think it's a going to affect things one way or the other. But here's the point I'm trying to make: Corn on the cob is good, isn't it."

My phone would ring, and it would be him, but it was just this squawking and cheeping. 'What?! What?!' I would yell back, but he never did speak English."

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I hope life isn't a big joke, because I don't get it."
