(AP) – A selection of comic lines from Phyllis Diller, who died yesterday at age 95:

  • "I once wore a peekaboo blouse. People would peek and then they'd boo."
  • "When I told Fang I was going to have my face lifted, he said, `Who'd steal it?'
  • "I never made `Who's Who,' but I'm featured in `What's That?' "
  • "You know you're old when your walker has an airbag."
  • "I was the world's ugliest baby. When I was born, the doctor slapped everybody."
  • "I have so many liver spots, I ought to come with a side of onions."
  • "Think of me as a sex symbol for men who just don't give a damn."
  • "They say housework can't kill you, but why take the chance?"

I never found self-disrespecting humor funny.  I always found it more than a little sad.  I think because I hear the person crying inside while everyone laughs at them. It's that 50's humor that always escaped me.  Maybe because it was humor at the expense of someone.
