2.
The funniest line in English is Get it? When you say that, everyone chortles.
Keillor, Garrison

3.
Alas, poor Yorick! I knew him, Horatio: a fellow of infinite jest, of most excellent fancy. Where be your jibes now, your gambols, your songs, your flashes of merriment that were wont to set the table on a roar?
Shakespeare, William

Times change. The farmer's daughter now tells jokes about the traveling salesman.
Williams, Carey

Prithee don't screw your wit beyond the compass of good manners.
Cibber, Colley

6.
His hilarity was like a scream from a crevasse.
Greene, Graham

7.
The old idea that the joke was not good enough for the company has been superseded by the new aristocratic idea that the company was not worthy of the joke. They have introduced an almost insane individualism into that one form of intercourse which is specially and uproariously communal. They have made even levities into secrets. They have made laughter lonelier than tears.
Chesterton, Gilbert K.

8.
All womankind, from the highest to the lowest love jokes; the difficulty is to know how they choose to have them cut; and there is no knowing that, but by trying, as we do with our artillery in the field, by raising or letting down their breeches, till we hit the mark.
Sterne, Laurence

9.
Suppose the world were only one of God's jokes, would you work any the less to make it a good joke instead of a bad one?

In polite society one laughs at all the jokes, including the ones one has heard before.
Dane, Frank

Being a funny person does an awful lot of things to you. You feel that you mustn't get serious with people. They don't expect it from you, and they don't want to see it. You're not entitled to be serious, you're a clown, and they only want you to make them laugh.
Brice, Fanny

12.
If you've heard this story before, don't stop me, because I'd like to hear it again.
Marx, Groucho

13.
A dirty joke is a sort of mental rebellion.
Orwell, George

14.
If all else fails, the character of a man can be recognized by nothing so surely as by a jest which he takes badly.
Lichtenberg, Georg C.

15.
All human race would be wits. And millions miss, for one that hits.
Swift, Jonathan

16.
I remain just one thing, and one thing only -- and that is a clown. It places me on a far higher plane than any politician.
Chaplin, Charlie

17.
Jokes are grievances.
Mcluhan, Marshall

18.
Witticism. A sharp and clever remark, usually quoted and seldom noted; what the Philistine is pleased to call a joke.
Bierce, Ambrose

19.
My life has been one great big joke, a dance that's walked a song that's spoke, I laugh so hard I almost choke when I think about myself.
Angelou, Maya
