“I had never before been a special fan of that great comedian Phyllis Diller, but she utterly won my heart this week by sending me an envelope that, when opened, contained a torn-off square of brown-bag paper of the kind suitable for latrine duty in an ill-run correctional facility.

Phyllis Diller“The only time I ever enjoyed ironing was the day I accidentally got gin in the steam iron.”
Phyllis Diller“I want my children to have all the things I couldn't afford. Then I want to move in with them.”
Phyllis Diller“It's a good thing that beauty is only skin deep, or I'd be rotten to the core.”
Phyllis Diller“My cooking is so bad my kids thought Thanksgiving was to commemorate Pearl Harbor.”
