Benny Hill

When choosing between two evils, I always like to try the one I’ve never tried before.

Mae West

While I was ice fishing without success, an old guy comes along and drills a hole nearby. He starts catching fish as fast as he can bait the hook, so I went over to ask him his secret. He replied: Ymd ggt tm kppp tth yaems womg. I said: Excuse,me, I didn’t get that? He mumbles louder: Ymd ggt tm kppp tth yaems womg! I said: Sorry, I didn’t understand you. Frustrated, the man spits a wiggly wad out of his mouth and says You have to keep the worms warm!
