Here's a new one:
"Remember my big toe?"
"Yeah?"
"Shot off! Almost."
Next time you handle a gun, shoot yourself in the head."
That's Curly and Moe in
Dizzy Detectives.
I'm sorry I missed the chance to identify the line from
Dizzy Pilots a few posts back, which is a favorite of mine. How often do I want to say to somebody, in a Brooklyn accent, "You are speaking incorrectly; you are
moidering da King's English!"!
Here's mine (you will note a certain continuity with the previous two lines if you are alert
):
"Look at me: every morning, wide awake at eleven o'clock!"
