Bv Monkhouse one liners

 Here are 20 Bob Monkhouse–style one-liners (kept in his clean, classic British observational/comedy style rather than exact quotes):

  1. “Age is merely mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter.”
  2. “I’m not saying I’m old, but my birth certificate is in Roman numerals.”
  3. “I’ve got all the money I’ll ever need… if I die by 4 o’clock this afternoon.”
  4. “My wife says I never listen… or something like that.”
  5. “I told the doctor I broke my arm in two places. He told me to stop going to those places.”
  6. “I stayed up all night wondering where the sun went… then it dawned on me.”
  7. “I asked the librarian if the library had books on paranoia. She whispered, ‘They’re right behind you.’”
  8. “I used to think I was indecisive, but now I’m not so sure.”
  9. “I’m on a whisky diet. I’ve lost three days already.”
  10. “I bought a memory foam mattress… I can’t remember why I liked it.”
  11. “I told my wife she should embrace her mistakes. She gave me a hug.”
  12. “I’m not arguing, I’m just explaining why I’m right.”
  13. “I’ve started investing in stocks: beef, chicken, and vegetable.”
  14. “I tried to catch fog yesterday. Mist.”
  15. “I went to buy camouflage trousers, but I couldn’t find any.”
  16. “I’m reading a book on anti-gravity. It’s impossible to put down.”
  17. “I used to be a baker, but I couldn’t make enough dough.”
  18. “I’m in shape… round is a shape.”
  19. “I told my computer I needed a break, and now it won’t stop sending me KitKats.”
  20. “I’m not lazy, I’m on energy-saving mode.”

If you want, I can  make them darker, more modern, or more like his actual stage patter (slightly punchier and more showbiz-style).
