One-liners...
I am always fascinated by one-liners....and if they are funny, they tend to be more appealing. Every day on tv, internet or through other people, we hear funny anectodes told to us. Depending on individuals, we may find some, more appealing than the other...I used to wonder..how do people come up with these ideas?? Would it come out of their life and day to day experience..or does a humorist actively look for an opportunity to find a comic element in everything he does??
Recently i came across this funny one-liner..
"How fat was Elizabeth Taylor??" She has got more chins than a chinese phone directory..."
Whoever came up with this, probably was browsing a phone directory while having conversation about fat people or about chins..maybe or maybe some other story....we wouldn't know for sure.. Obviously its not easy even for a humorist to come up with something that everyone could enjoy..because of the varied audience taste, their culture and habits, as all of these elements play a crucial part for success...for example if you come to KSU to do a comic and you make a joke about KU, no matter how dumb it might be, the audience will most probably enjoy it..:-)..
Some other one-liners...
"Home elevators are always slower than office elevators as you dont have to be on time" ==>Seinfeld..
"I couldn't wait for success, so I went ahead without it"
"I call my maid a commercial cleaner. She cleans only during commercials"

"Do you ever just get down on your knees and thank god that you know me and have access to my dementia?..."
