[Referring to a glass of water] I mixed this myself. Two parts H, one part O. I don’t trust anybody!

When I was a baby, I kept a diary. Recently, I was rereading it. It said, “Day 1 — Still tired from the move. Day 2 — Everybody talks to me like I’m an idiot.” I was upset because on my second birthday, I went from being one to being two, and my age doubled in a year. I figured at this rate, by the time I’m six, I’ll be ninety.

When I was little, my grandfather used to make me stand in a closet for five minutes without moving. He said it was elevator practice.

I didn’t get a toy train like the other kids. I got a toy subway instead. You couldn’t see anything, but every now and then you’d hear this rumbling noise go by.

When I was a kid, I went to the store and asked the guy, “Do you have any toy train schedules?”

A doctor was vacationing at the seashore with his family.

Suddenly, he spotted a fin sticking up in the water and fainted.

“Darling, it was just a shark,” assured his wife when he came to.

“You’ve got to stop imagining that there are lawyers everywhere.”
