Today is my dad's birthday; he would have been 86. So time to remember and reflect.......he had a funny sense of humor and when something would tickle him....chances are he couldn't relate the story........he would be too busy laughing!

So with that in mind, I would like to share some humor from Old Timer Bob Hope (about the same era as my dad and mom, little older!) who was the master at one-liners and making people laugh:

Bob Hope Classics

ON TURNING 70 "You still chase women, but only downhill."

ON TURNING 80 "That's the time of your life when even your birthday suit needs pressing."

ON TURNING 90 "You know you're getting old when the candles cost more than the cake."

ON TURNING 100 " I don't feel old. In fact I don't feel anything until noon.  Then it's time for my nap."

ON GIVING UP HIS EARLY CAREER OF BOXING   "I ruined my hands in the ring ... the referee kept stepping on them."

ON NEVER WINNING AN OSCAR "Welcome to the Academy Awards or, as it's called at my home, 'Passover'."

ON GOLF "Golf is my profession. Show business is just to pay the green fees."

ON PRESIDENTS  " I have performed for 12 presidents and entertained only six."

ON RECEIVING THE CONGRESSIONAL GOLD MEDAL  "I feel very humble, but I think I have the strength of character to fight it."
