Ah Yes, My Little Chickadee

thank you .........smiles

Please do - I think we could handle something Wilde here....

Laughter is not at all a bad beginning for a friendship, and it is far the best ending for one.

Nothing can cure the soul but the senses, just as nothing can cure the senses but
the soul.

The man who can dominate a London dinner-table can dominate the world....

Oscar Wilde

[Marquis]

some of his jokes are so bad in todays PC world that I won't post them.

Awww, those are the ones I want to hear!

Awww, those are the ones I want to hear!

they are not that bad

"No doubt exists that all women are crazy; it's only a question of degree."

"Marriage is better than leprosy because it's easier to get rid of."

"All the men in my family were bearded, and most of the women."

"I believe in tying the marriage knot, as long as it's around the woman's neck."

(After the reported death of Fields' character's mother-in-law, his secretary offers condolences
Secretary: "It must be hard to lose your mother-in-law."
WC: "Yes it is, very hard. It's almost impossible."

(Fields damages an electric motor
Man: "Do you know anything about electricity?"
WC: "My father occupied the chair of applied electricity at state prison."

Waitress: "You know, there's something awfully big about you."
WC: "Thank you, dear."
Waitress: "Your nose."
(Waitress turns around and Fields eyes her rotund bottom.)
WC: "There's something awfully big about you, too."

 

[Shankara20]

Charlie McCarthy: "Say, Mr. Fields, I read in the paper where you consumed two quarts of liquor a day. What would your father think about that?"

WC: "He'd think I was a sissy."

 

[Shankara20]

On his death bed, he supposedly asked his banker, "Do I have enough money to buy all the children of Philidephia a bike each?" The banker looked at his notes and said yes. Fields stayed quiet for a moment in deep thought and replied "Well Fuck'em!"

 

[Shankara20]

(When talking to some children)

Here you have some razor blades. And now, play with them!

WC Fields

(Declining to play golf with someone he didn't like)

"When I want to play with a prick, I'll play with my own."

WC Fields

WC: "He'd think I was a sissy."

Fields was always one of my favorites, too. One linethat may be apocryphal but certainly would be in character for Fields that I liked was this:

WC: "Some say that I will die in a vat of whiskey. O, Death, where is thy sting?"

 

[Shankara20]

Girl: The only game I ever played was beanbag.

WC: Beanbag? Ah, Yees; it becomes very exciting at times. I saw the championship played in Paris. Many people were killed.

great - new one to me....

My father-n-law has WC Fields down to a science and even has the grin and pudgy nose to go with.

It wasn't till later that I learned to understand his sense of humor. Once I figured it out we got along really well after that.
