I heard a great one last night on Law and Order from Gorin's character to his loser brother:
"If you were on a bridge and were going to jump,I'd be waiting for the splash"

And there's the classic line attributed to Desraeli(sp?), who defined the the difference between a disaster and a catastrophe thus:
If Mr. Gladstone were to fall into the river Thames, that would be a disaster.
If someone were to fetch him out, that would be a catasrophe. |

Or the comedian Henny Youngman...
"For our anniversary my wife said she wanted to go somewhere she's never been, I said try the kitchen." |

Winston Churchill also said,
"I may be drunk, Miss, but in the morning I will be sober and you will still be ugly" |

I don't know if these are actually accurate but...
WC Fields:
How can you drink water! Fish <function> in it!
May West,
She point to her left thigh saying <If this is Christmas> then points to her right thigh saying <and this is Easter>... <why don't you visit me between the holidays>..

Speaking of Mae West, wasn't it she who said "I was pure as the new fallen snow....but I drifted."
Which in turn prompted Tulaluh Bankhead to describe herself as being "pure as the driven slush!"
And when it comes to boy/girl relationships, GBShaw was sitting next to a lady at a dinner party. He asked her, "would you sleep with me for a million pounds?"
"For a million pounds," she replied, "of course."
He then asked, "Well, would you sleep with me for ten pounds."
"Ten pounds!" she exclaimed. "What do you think I am?"
His response: "Madam, we've already established what you are. We're just dickering over price." |

Not one mention of one of the greatest insult writers of all time....Shakespeare:
"I do desire we may be better strangers"
As you like it
"More of your conversation would infect my brain"
Coriolanus
"There is no more faith in thee than in a stewed prune"
Henry IV
The list goes on and on!!!
