Police visit

The police came to my front door last night holding a picture of my wife, then asked "is this your wife sir?".

Shocked I answered" yes"

They said "I’m afraid it looks like she’s been hit by a bus".

I said "I know, but she has a lovely personality and she’s good with the dog."

Meetings are indispensable when you don't want to do anything.
   
Nothing is so admirable in politics as a short memory.

The conventional view serves to protect us from the painful job of thinking.
  
The happiest time of anyone's life is just after the first divorce.

It is a far, far better thing to have a firm anchor in nonsense than to put out on the troubled sea of thought.  

The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.
     
Under capitalism, man exploits man. Under communism, it's just the opposite.

Blackadder–quotes

Blackadder: Your brain's so minute, Baldrick, that if a hungry cannibal cracked your head open, there wouldn't be enough to cover a small water biscuit.

 

Blackadder: Baldrick, in the Amazonian rain forests there are tribes of Indians as yet untouched by civilisation who have developed more convincing Charlie Chaplin impressions than yours. 

 

Blackadder: George, who is using the family brain cell at the moment?

 

Blackadder: I lost closer friends than "darling Georgie" the last time I was deloused.

 

Baldrick: Shall I do my war poem, sir?
Blackadder: How hurt will you be if I give the honest answer, which is, "No - I'd rather French-kiss a skunk?"

 

Blackadder: For us, the Great War is finito, a war which would be a damn sight simpler if we just stayed in England and shot fifty thousand of our men a week.

 

Blackadder: We've been sitting here since Christmas 1914, during which time millions of men have died, and we've moved no further than an asthmatic ant with heavy shopping.

 

Blackadder: Give the likes of Baldrick the vote and we'll be back to cavorting druids, death by stoning and dung for dinner.

 

Blackadder: If you want something done properly, kill Baldrick before you start.
