this appeared in the Washington Post a while back. While it does not fit the topic intended by the op, i hope some of You get a chuckle from it like i did:

Police arrested Patrick Lawrence, a 22-year-old white male, resident of Dacula, GA, in a pumpkin patch at 11:38 p.m. on Friday.

Lawrence will be charged with lewd and lascivious behavior, public indecency and public intoxication at the Gwinnett County courthouse on Monday.

The suspect explained that as he was passing a pumpkin patch he decided to stop. "You know, a pumpkin is soft and squishy inside and there was no one around here for miles. At least I thought there wasn't," he stated in a phone interview.

Lawrence went on to say that he pulled over to the side of the road, picked out a pumpkin that he felt was appropriate to his purposes, cut a hole in it and proceeded to satisfy his alleged "need."

"I guess I was just really into it, you know?" he commented with evident embarrassment. In the process, Lawrence apparently failed to notice a Gwinnett County police car approaching and was unaware of his audience until officer Brenda Taylor approached him.

"It was an unusual situation, that's for sure," said officer Taylor.
"I walked up to (Lawrence) and he's...just working away at this pumpkin."

Taylor went on to describe what happened when she approached Lawrence.

"I just went up and said, 'Excuse me sir, but do you realise that you are screwing a pumpkin?'

He froze and was clearly very surprised that I was there and then looked me straight in the face and said, "A pumpkin? Damn...is it midnight already?"

The Mother Superior said to the nuns, 'I'm afraid there's a case of gonorrhea at the convent', and one nun muttered, 'thank goodness for that, I am really fed up with chardonnay'.

"It's better to be in the right place at the wrong time than to be in the wrong place at the wrong time".

I just made that up but I'm sure someone else must have thought of it before.

Two come to mind right now, and I don't have either 100% committed to memory, so forgive any errors...

"Who knew there was money to be made selling things that don't exist to people who aren't there?" (This was said by someone here in the forums around the time I joined SL. Sadly, I can't seem to find the original so I can give proper attribution.)

and

"Being powerful is like being a lady. If you have to tell people you are, you aren't."

I read a nice reply to somebody's angry response about something to someone else: They said "Go F--K yourself".

Somebody else, impartial to this incident asked them "Did you mean PLEASE 'Go F--K yourself' or are your just being rude?"

That got me a big laugh.

But sadly, they responded that no, they were not being polite...

Oh well, just another Friday.

Yes!

Or "Big Boo-Tay! TAY!!!"
Or "We're not in the 8th Dimension. We're still in New Jersey".
I love that movie.

Of course there's the classic "No matter where you go, there you are."

And this little gem:

Perfect Tommy: Emilio Lizardo. Wasn't he on TV once?
Buckaroo Banzai: You're thinking of Mr. Wizard.
Reno: Emilio Lizardo is a top scientist, dummkopf.
Perfect Tommy: So was Mr. Wizard.

...Just so many immortal throwaway lines, such as the hospital P.A. announcement "Lithium will no longer be available on credit." And the watermelon!

((It is a constant ache, constant, that BB Against the World Crime League was never made.))

Anyways, to be somewhat original, I'll bring another great writer into this thread:

"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 immortal Jack Handey

Gotta love Dorothy Parker.

There are so many great quotes by so many people (including the ever present 'anonymous') but I always thought this one clever. Especially since, as with many of hers, it was impromptu.

A woman, who happened to be younger than Dorothy, but did not like her much, stood beside Ms. Parker in front of a doorway. The woman made a sweeping gesture with her hand and bowed a bit, beckoning Ms. Parker to go through first.

"Age before beauty," the woman said with a smirk.

"Pearls before swine!" Dorothy Parker said, and swept on through.
