A Quick Wit


A Catholic priest was talking to his friend the rabbi: “You don’t know what you’re missing by not eating bacon. Why would God have created something so delicious if He didn’t want people to enjoy it? When are you finally going to break down and try some?”

Rabbi: “At your wedding, Father.”


Groucho Marx hosted a TV show called “You Bet Your Life” – here are some examples of his quick witted humor:

Groucho probably was not aware of everything he was saying when a “You Bet Your Life” contestant stated she had thirteen children and could explain it only by proclaiming, “I love my husband!” “I like my cigar too”, said Groucho, “but I take it out once in a while.”


When a middle-aged teacher came on his quiz show and claimed she was “approaching forty,” Groucho asked her, “from which direction?”


Once a clergyman came on his television show glowing and declared, “Groucho, I want to thank you for all the enjoyment you have given the world.” Groucho shot right back, “And I want to thank you for all the enjoyment you’ve taken out of it.”
