Friday Diversion: The punchlines you wish you had written

I’m having dishwasher issues, so I’m either washing dishes, washing dishes that the dishwasher didn’t wash or just muttering unclean words at the dishwasher. There are two punchlines that keep coming to my mind during this experience.

Paraphrased from the TV show AfterMASH that ran brief as a sequel to M*A*S*H* comes this line:
Colonel Potter’s wife: “Don’t worry about the dishes, dear. We have a dishwasher”
Klinger’s Korean wife: “Oh, I’d love to meet her.”

Paraphrased line from Berkeley Breathed’s character Opus about women and dishes. It wasn’t even the punchline, but somehow stuck with me. “They stack the dishes so we have to wash the bottoms too.”

What’s your favorite punchline or phrase you wish you had written or that have stuck with you?

  1. Larson: Yes, That’s right – the answer is ‘Wisconsin’. Another 50 points for God and…uh-oh, looks like Norman, our current champion, hasn’t even scored yet.

  2. “Don’t let a suitcase full of cheese become your giant fork and spoon!” – Episode of “Everybody Loves Raymond” that concerned a suitcase full of cheese and a giant fork and spoon.

  3. Lee Lorenz cartoon of two aliens inside their UFO looking at a typical paunchy suburban geezer with Hawaiian shirt, bermuda shorts & baseball cap: “You abducted it, you feed it.”
