Got these from my friend, they used to run them on SNL

Deep Thoughts (by Jack Handey)

=========
If you ever drop your keys into a river of molten lava, let'em go,
because, man, they're gone.
=========
If trees could scream, would we be so cavalier about cutting them
down? We might, if they screamed all the time, for no good reason."
=========
To me, it's a good idea to always carry two sacks of something when
you walk around. That way, if anybody says, "Hey, can you give me a
hand?" You can say, "Sorry, got these sacks."
=========
One thing kids like is to be tricked. For instance, I was going
to take my nephew to Disneyland, but instead I drove him to an old
burned-out warehouse. "Oh no," I said, "Disneyland burned down."
He cried and cried, but I think that deep down he thought it was a
pretty good joke. I started to drive over to the real Disneyland,
but it was getting pretty late.
=========
The face of a child can say it all, especially the mouth part of the
face.
=========
If you lived in the Dark Ages and you were a catapult operator, I bet
the most common question people would ask is, "Can't you make it shoot
farther?" "No, I'm sorry. That's as far as it shoots."
=========
If a kid asks where rain comes from, I think a cute thing to tell him
is, "God is crying." And if he asks why God is crying, another cute
thing to tell him is, "Probably because of something you did."
=========
If you ever catch on fire, try to avoid seeing yourself in the mirror,
because I bet that's what REALLY throws you into a panic.
=========
Whenever I see an old lady slip and fall on a wet sidewalk, my first
instinct is to laugh. But then I think, what if I was an ant and she
fell on me. Then it wouldn't seem quite so funny.
=========
To me, boxing is like a ballet, except there's no music, no
choreography and the dancers hit each other.
=========
Instead of having "answers" on a math test, they should just call them
"impressions," and if you got a different "impression," so what, can't
we all be brothers?
=========
I wish I would have a real tragic love affair and get so bummed out
that I'd just quit my job and become a bum for a few years, because
I was thinking about doing that anyway.
=========
I think a good gift for the President would be a chocolate revolver.
And since he's so busy, you'd probably have to run up to him real
quick and hand it to him.
=========
Maybe in order to understand mankind we have to look at that word
itself. MANKIND. Basically, it's made up of two separate words
"mank" and "ind."
What do these words mean? It's a mystery and that's why so is
mankind.
=========
If you go flying back through time and you see somebody else flying
forward into the future, it's probably best to avoid eye contact.
=========
As the light changed from red to green to yellow and back to red
again, I sat there thinking about life. Was it nothing more than a
bunch of
honking and yelling? Sometimes it seemed that way.
=========
I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate.
And
I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it.
=========
Whenever you read a good book, it's like the author is right there, in
the room talking to you, which is why I don't like to read good books.
=========
Instead of a trap door, what about a trap window? The guy looks out
it, and if he leans too far, he falls out. Wait. I guess that's like
a regular window.
=========
During the Middle Ages, probably one of the biggest mistakes was not
putting on your armor because you were "just going down to the
corner."
=========
If I ever get real rich, I hope I'm not real mean to poor people, like
I am now.
=========
When I found the skull in the woods, the first thing I did was call
the police. But then I got curious about it. I picked it up, and
started
wondering who this person was, and why he had deer horns.
=========
I remember how my great-uncle Jerry would sit on the porch and whittle
all day long. Once he whittled me a toy boat out of a larger toy boat
I had. It was almost as good as the first one, except now it had
bumpy whittle marks all over it. And no paint, because he had
whittled off
the paint.
=========
If you're a cowboy and you're dragging a guy behind your horse, I bet
it would really make you mad if you looked back and the guy was
reading a magazine.
=========
Broken promises don't upset me. I just think, why did they believe
me?
=========
If you ever crawl inside an old hollow log and go to sleep, and while
you're in there some guys come and seal up both ends and then put it
on a truck and take it to another city, boy, I don't know what to tell
you.
=========
Most of the time it was probably real bad being stuck down in a
dungeon.
But some days, when there was a bad storm outside, you'd look out your
little window and think, "Boy, I'm glad I'm not out in that."
=========
Consider the daffodil. And while you're doing that, I'll be over
here, looking through your stuff.
=========
For mad scientists who keep brains in jars, here's a tip: why not add
a slice of lemon to each jar, for freshness?
=========
If I was the head of a country that lost a war, and I had to sign a
peace treaty, just as I was signing, I'd glance over the treaty and
then suddenly act surprised. "Wait a minute! I thought we won!"
=========
Somebody told me how frightening it was how much topsoil we are losing
each year, but I told that story around the campfire and nobody got
scared.
=========
I hope that after I die, people will say of me: "That guy sure owed me
a lot of money."
=========
I wish I had a dollar for every time I spent a dollar, because then,
Yahoo!, I'd have all my money back.
=========
The tired and thirsty prospector threw himself down at the edge of the
watering hole and started to drink. But then he looked around and saw
skulls and bones everywhere. "Uh-oh," he thought. "This watering hole
is reserved for skeletons."

The one I remember from SNL:

I've always been afraid of clowns. Especially since one shot my dad.

The one I remember from SNL:

I've always been afraid of clowns. Especially since one shot my dad.Only the real quote is more like

"To me, clowns aren't funny. In fact, they're kinda scary. I've wondered where this started and I think it goes back to the time I went to the circus and a clown killed my dad."


Shit threeboy, you could of got all those from when i copy and paste them in the #truenuff channel!! :P

Some more:

If I could go back and change one thing in my life, I think it would be that time I found that one-dollar bill on the sidewalk. I would change it to a million-dollar bill.
---
The first time I ever tried to milk a cow at Grandpa's farm, I didn't even know which end of the cow to milk! Then I guess I got even dumber because the next time I couldn't even find the barn. Then the last time, I just went out in the woods and lived with no clothes.
---
If you go parachuting, and your parachute doesn't open, and your friends are all watching you fall, I think a funny gag would be to pretend you were swimming.
---
You know what would make a good story? Something about a clown who makes people happy, but inside he's real sad. Also, he has severe diarrhea.
---
I wouldn't be surprised if someday some fishermen caught a big shark and cut it open, and there inside was a whole person. Then they cut the person open, and in him is a little baby shark. And in the baby shark there isn't a person, because it would be too small. But there's a little doll or something, like a Johnny Combat little toy guy - something like that.
---
Any man, in the right situation, is capable of murder. But not any man is capable of being a good camper. So, murder and camping are not as similar as you might think.
---
If you're in a war, instead of throwing a hand grenade at the enemy, throw one of those small pumpkins. Maybe it'll make everyone think how stupid war is, and while they are thinking, you can throw a real grenade at them.
---
If you ever fall off the Sears Tower, just go real limp, because maybe you'll look like a dummy and people will try to catch you because, hey, free dummy.
---
I bet the main reason the police keep people away from a plane crash is they don't want anybody walking in and lying down in the crash stuff, then, when somebody comes up, act like they just woke up and go, "What was THAT?!"
---
When this girl at the museum asked me who I liked better, Monet or Manet, I said, "I like mayonnaise." She just stared at me, so I said it again, louder. Then she left. I guess she went to try to find some mayonnaise for me.
---
Is there anything more beautiful than a beautiful, beautiful flamingo, flying across in front of a beautiful sunset? And he's carrying a beautiful rose in his beak, and also he's carrying a very beautiful painting with his feet. And also, you're drunk.
---
The next time I have meat and mashed potatoes, I think I'll put a very large blob of potatoes on my plate with just a little piece of meat. And if someone asks me why I didn't get more meat, I'll just say, "Oh, you mean this?" and pull out a big piece of meat from inside the blob of potatoes, where I've hidden it. Good magic trick, huh?
---
If there was a big gardening convention, and you got up and gave a speech in favor of fast-motion gardening, I bet you would get booed right off the stage. They're just not ready.
---
When Rick told me he was having trouble with his wife, I had to laugh. Not because of what he said, but because of a joke I thought of. I told him the joke, but he didn’t laugh very much. Some friend he is.
---
If I was being executed by injection, I’d clean up my cell real neat. Then, when they came to get me, I’d say, “Injection? I thought you said ‘inspection.’” They’d probably feel real bad, and maybe I could get out of it.
---
It’s interesting to think that my ancestors used to live in the trees, like apes, until finally they got the nerve to head out onto the plains, where some were probably hit by cars.

I can remember one from SNL that said some thing like:
"When I was a boy my dad always wanted to go fishing with me. When he took me up to the lake I thought he was going to throw me in the lake and drown me so I yelled "you cant get me DAD! If thats your real name" and ran into the car and locked all the doors. I must of been right about it to because he never took me to go fishing ever again"

Yah that was long.... The real thing was a little different but close enough, when I first heard it a laughed my ass off :D

Actually, if anyone did this one, it was Jace. And even he wasn't like, too far off. So this one slides in my mind.

Everyone's resurected long-dead threads at one point in their nooby forum-career. They always get flamed too. Learn from this people. Learn what, I dont know. But learn... okay so I just got back from calgary and am suffering threeboy forum withdrawl symptoms (tfws). Forgive me.

Need another Jack Handey fix?
Here we go...


Here's a good thing to do if you go to a party and you don't know anybody: First, take out the garbage. Then go around and collect any extra garbage that people might have, like a crumpled-up napkin, and take that out too. Pretty soon people will want to meet the busy garbage guy.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When I was a child, there were times when we had to entertain ourselves. And usually the best way to do that was to turn on the TV.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If life deals you lemons, why not go kill someone with the lemons (maybe by shoving them down his throat)?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I think there is more wisdom in a single drop of rain than there is in all the books in all the libraries of the world. Wait, not rain. Super-concentrated brain juice.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I think a good movie would be about a guy who's a brain scientist, but he gets hit on the head and it damages the part of the brain that makes you want to study the brain.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you ever go temporarily insane, don't shoot somebody, like a lot of people do. Instead, try to get some weeding done, because you'd really be surprised.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you're an ant, and you're walking along across the top of a cup of pudding, you probably have no idea that the only thing between you and disaster is the strength of that pudding skin.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I wish outer-space guys would conquer Earth and make people their pets, because I'd like to have one of those little basket-beds with my name on it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To become a knife thrower in the circus, they probably don't let you start off throwing at a live woman. They start you out with a little girl.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The first thing was, I learned to forgive myself. Then I told myself, "Go ahead and do whatever you want, it's okay by me."
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

How come the dove gets to be the peace symbol? How about the pillow? It has more feathers than the dove, and it doesn't have that dangerous beak.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In some countries, what I did would be considered polite, especially Fartland.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If I ever become a mummy, I'm going to have it so when somebody opens my lid a boxing glove on a spring shoots out.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Once, when I was in Hawaii, on the island of Kauai, I met a mysterious old stranger. He said he was about to die and wanted to tell someone about the treasure. I said, "Okay, as long as it's not a long story. Some of us have a plane to catch, you know." He started telling his story, about the treasure and his life and all, and I thought: "This story isn't too long." But then, he kept going, and I started thinking, "Uh-oh, this story is getting long." But then, the story was over, and I said to myself: "You know, that story wasn't too long after all." I forget what the story was about, but there was a good movie on the plane. It was a little long, though.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's funny, but when you look at an old man, then you look at a photo of him when he was a young man, then you look at the old man, then the photo, back and forth, pretty soon you'll do whatever anybody tells you to.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There is one question that probably drives just about every vampire crazy: "Oh, do you know Dracula?"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Better not take a dog on the Space Shuttle, because if he sticks his head out when you're coming home his face might burn up.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Love is not something that you can put chains on and throw into a lake. That's called Houdini. Love is liking someone a lot.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you're traveling in a time machine, and you're eating corn on the cob, I don't think it's going to affect things one way or the other. But here's the point I'm trying to make: Corn on the cob is good, isn't it.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you saw two guys named Hambone and Flippy, which one would you think liked dolphins the most? I'd say Flippy, wouldn't you? You'd be wrong though. It's Hambone.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sometimes it's hard to tell if something is actually a memory, or you just dreamed it. So I asked my boss if I called him a lying, stinking thief, or I just dreamed it, and he said I just dreamed it. Whew, that was close.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's easy to sit there and say you'd like to have more money. And I guess that's what I like about it. It's easy. Just sitting there, rocking back and forth, wanting that money.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sometimes I think you have to march right in and demand your rights, even if you don't know what your rights are, or who the person is you're talking to. Then, on the way out, slam the door.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Children need encouragement. So if a kid gets an answer right, tell him it was a lucky guess. That way, he develops a good, lucky feeling.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There's always been a good explanation for everything. When that owl attacked Grandma and started biting her head, at first it didn't make any sense. Why would an owl attack Grandma? But then we found out later: a mouse was living in her hairdo.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's not good to let any kid near a container that has a skull and crossbones on it, because there might be a skeleton costume inside and the kid could put it on and really scare you.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

We like to praise birds for flying. But how much of it is actually flying, and how much of it is just sort of coasting from the previous flap?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sometimes kids are so cruel to animals, especially insects. I remember one time I caught this grasshopper, and I made him wear a little straw hat that I had made. Also a little pair of denim overalls. And I made him hold this little tiny pitchfork. So guess what he looked like? What is the enemy of the grasshopper and the one thing he wouldn't want to look like? That's right, a farmer.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When I gave the bellboy his tip, he just sort of snarled at me. So I gave him some more money, but he just kept snarling. More money, more snarling. Finally I realized, Hey, you're not the bellboy, this is a robbery! I asked him anyway if he would carry my bag, but he wouldn't.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

One bad thing about Lassie, she was always warning you about something. Let me be surprised for a change.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

To my way of thinking, there's nothing that can't be cured by a big ol' pot o beans. Except maybe bean fever.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

There used to be a house on our block that we thought was haunted, because you'd hear people screaming inside and because people who went in never came out. Later on we found out it was just a murderer's house.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
