Humorous Quotations
Issue #55
August 2, 2003

Hi Friends,

"I do benefits for all religions -- I'd hate to blow
the hereafter on a technicality."
~ Bob Hope

At 9.28 last Sunday, while you were probably going
through the 'Baldness' issue of Humorous Quotes, Bob
Hope passed away peacefully in his sleep. He was a
100 years and 59 days old (pipping George Burns who
was 100 years and 49 days old when he died on 9th
March 1996, a quip goal of Hope in his last few years.)
Naturally your wz-ard drops other topics and focusses
the next few issues on a 100 years of comic one-liners
and most humorous quotes by Bob Hope...

"I left England at the age of four when I found out
I couldn't be king."

"I grew up with six brothers. That's how I learned to dance -
waiting for the bathroom."

(Asked shortly before a tour to Vietnam if he was worth
50 million dollars)
"If I had $50 million, I wouldn't go to Vietnam; I'd send for it."

"Golf is a game that needlessly prolongs the lives of some
of our most useless citizens."

(Under the circumstances we drop our customary
practice and begin with the end)
