Quotes from the great Phyllis Diller

  • Housework can’t kill you, but why take a chance?
  • Cleaning your house while your kids are still growing up is like shovelling the walk before it stops snowing.
  • A smile is a curve that sets everything straight.
  • The reason women don’t play football is because 11 of them would never wear the same outfit in public.
  • Best way to get rid of kitchen odours: eat out.
  • A bachelor is a guy who never made the same mistake once.
  • Never go to bed mad. Stay up and fight.  [Everyone's heard that before but I thought you'd like to know the source]
  • I want my children to have all the things I couldn’t afford. Then I want to move in with them.
  • Most children threaten at times to run away from home. This is the only thing that keeps some parents going.
  • Always be nice to your children because they are the ones who will choose your rest home.
  • Aim high, and you won’t shoot your foot off.
  • Any time three New Yorkers get into a cab without an argument, a bank has just been robbed.
  • We spend the first twelve months of our children’s lives teaching them to walk and talk and the next twelve telling them to sit down and shut up.
  • Burt Reynolds once asked me out. I was in his room.

Thanks to Terry for letting me lift this from her blog.  More tomorrow.

    Phyllis was a special lady! I really loved her humor. I found myself reading this hearing her voice in my head. Good choice!

    I love her. I’m from San Francisco, where she started out, and used to hear her on the radio before she became a big star. That was in the 50′s. Oh my, I am old!

    I forgot how funny she was.
