Edited on Tue Apr-08-08 08:11 PM by bobbolink
I was hooked by Crescent City Kid's one-liners, and have seen so many really brilliant ones at DU, so I thought it would be good to keep a thread of 'em.... never know when a pithy one-liner could come in handy. :) Please add your own brilliance. :)

4. This is way too lame, but it's original |
|
In what animal family is a fat cat?
Elephant.
(That was so bad I should have my DU membership revoked. I also should've been able to work in 'shark' and 'predator' with an animal 'joke'. )

5. You're definitely on the right track! Sometimes it's good to post ideas, cuz it may very well |
|
spark someone else...
Your shark and predator, for example.. some DUer will pounce on that one. (very punny, bobbolink...)
I really like the two quotes in your sigline! Tonight, I'm really appreciating the St. Francis one.. :)
Thanks!

6. Poverty is a weapon of mass destruction wielded by the few |

For some, it means giving up expectations for Lent... and not picking them up again, eh?
