Deep Thoughts by Jack Handy

*

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

*

To me, it's always a good idea to always carry two sacks of something when you walk around. That way, if anybody says, "Hey, can you give me a hand?," you can say, "Sorry, got these sacks."

*

I believe in making the world safe for our children, but not our children's children, because I don't think children should be having sex.

*

Instead of a trap door, what about a trap window? The guy looks out it, and if he leans too far, he falls out. Wait. I guess that's like a regular window

*

Children need encouragement. So if a kid gets an answer right, tell him it was a lucky guess. That way, he develops a good, lucky feeling.

*

I hope that after I die, people will say of me: "That guy sure owed me a lot of money."

*

To me, clowns aren't funny. In fact, they're kinda scary. I've wondered where this started, and I think it goes back to the time I went to the circus and a clown killed my dad.

*

Instead of a Seeing Eye dog, what about a gun? It's cheaper than a dog, plus if you walk around shooting all the time people are going to get out of the way. Cars, too!

*

Whenever I need to "get away," I just get away in my mind. I go to my imaginary spot, where the beach is perfect and the water is perfect and the weather is perfect. The only bad thing there are the flies. They're terrible!

*

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 can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate. And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it.

*

I guess I kinda lost control, because in the middle of the play I ran up and lit the evil puppet villain on fire. No, I didn't. Just kidding. I just said that to illustrate one of the human emotions, which is freaking out. Another emotion is greed, as when someone kills someone for money, or something like that. Another emotion is generosity, as when you pay someone double what he paid for his stupid puppet.

*

A man doesn't automatically get my respect. He has to get down in the dirt and beg for it.

*

I hope that someday we will be able to put away our fears and prejudices and just laugh at people.

*

It's easy to sit there and say you'd like to have more money. And I guess that's what I like about it. It's easy. Just sitting there, rocking back and forth, wanting that money.

*

I don't pretend to have all the answers. I don't pretend to even know what the questions are. Hey, where am I?

*

If you think a weakness can be turned into a strength, I hate to tell you this, but that's another weakness.

*

I think the mistake a lot of us make is thinking the state-appointed psychiatrist is our "friend."

*

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

*

The face of a child can say it all, especially the mouth part of the face.

*

If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute thing to tell him is "God is crying." And if he asks why God is crying, another cute thing to tell him is "Probably because of something you did."

*

If any man says he hates war more than I do, he better have a knife, that's all I have to say

*

Consider the daffodil. And while you're doing that, I'll be over here, looking through your stuff.

*

I think a cute movie idea would be about a parrot who is raised by eagles. It would be cute because the parrot can't seem to act like an eagle. After a while, though, to keep the movie from getting boring, maybe put in some pornography. Later, we see the happy parrot flying along, acting like an eagle. He see two parrots below and starts to attack, but it's his parents. Then, some more pornography

*

Whenever I see an old lady slip and fall on a wet sidewalk, my first instinct is to laugh. But then I think, what if I was an ant, and she fell on me. Then it wouldn't seem quite so funny.

*

I bet a fun thing would be to go way back in time to where there was going to be an eclipse and tell the cave men, "If I have come to destroy you, may the sun be blotted out from the sky." Just then the eclipse would start, and they'd probably try to kill you or something, but then you could explain about the rotation of the moon and all, and everyone would get a good laugh.

*

Sometimes when I feel like killing someone, I do a little trick to calm myself down. I'll go over to the person's house and ring the doorbell. When the person comes to the door, I'm gone, but you know what I've left on the porch? A jack-o'-lantern with a knife in the side of its head with a note that says "You." After that, I usually feel a lot better, and no harm done.

*

When you die, if you go somewhere where they ask you bunch of questions about your life and what you learned and all, I think a good way to get out of it is just to say, "No speaka English."

*

The first thing was, I learned to forgive myself. Then, I told myself, "Go ahead and do whatever you want, it's okay by me."

*

If you were a poor Indian with no weapons, and a bunch of conquistadores came up to you and asked where the gold was, I don't think it would be a good idea to say, "I swallowed it. So sue me."

*

The crows seemed to be calling his name, thought Caw.

*

Sometimes I think I'd be better off dead. No, wait. Not me, you

*

Higher beings from outer space may not want to tell us the secrets of life, because we're not ready. But maybe they'll change their tune after a little torture.

*

We tend to scoff at the beliefs of the ancients. But we can't scoff at them personally, to their faces, and this is what annoys me.

*

Sometimes I wonder if I'm patriotic enough. Yes, I want to kill people, but on both sides.

*

I think in one of my previous lives I was a mighty king, because I like people to do what I say.

*

I remember how, in college, I got that part-time job as a circus clown, and how the children would laugh and laugh at me. I vowed, then and there, that I would get revenge.

*

It takes a big man to cry, but it takes a bigger man to laugh at that man.

*

If you ever drop your keys into a river of molten lava, let 'em go, because, man, they're gone

*

Sometimes I think the world has gone completely mad. And then I think, "Aw, who cares?" And then I think, "Hey, what's for supper?"

*

If you define cowardice as running away at the first sign of danger, screaming and tripping and begging for mercy, then yes, Mister Brave Man, I guess I am a coward.

*

Instead of having "answers" on a math test, they should just call them "impressions," and if you got a different "impression," so what, can't we all be brothers?

*

If I had the time to sit down and write a thank-you note to everyone who sent me a nice, expensive present, what a wonderful world that would be!

*
