  Favourite Comedy Quotes

  by LoveUniHateExams in

  1. social
  2. humour

  i wanted to post a serious, profound quote in stillin's thread but my mind went blank and i'm pretty crap with serious quotes anyway, so i put a jokey quote from the red dwarf computer holly: .

  it's better to have loved and lost than to have listened to an album by olivia newton-john.. when a bemused lister asks why, holly replies "because anything's better than listening to an album by olivia newton-john!".

  this got me thinking, what are everyone's favourite comedy quotes?.

  Saturday Let the Games Begin

  the start of a new memorial season is upon us.

  saturday is the day for the start of the invites to look but not touch the bread and wine.

  the "observer class" is a belief unique to jehovah's witnesses.. along with the invite to the masses a special effort is being made this year by the elders to invite all the df's, da's and faders.. along with the invite a copy of the rtj will be left with them.. naturally we will still be treated as pariah's if we do attend but it is the thought that counts.. i am of the "fader class" as i don't wish to rock the boat with my wife and extended family.

  hey everyone,.

  just a simple straight forward question on exactly what the process is.

  i'm sorry if i'm covering old ground here.

  Your feelings for the former travelling overseers

  during our wt life we met a good number of friends involved in the circuit and district work.

  i am sure that we share the same experience and that we remember fondly some that we caring, loving and generally interested in the brothers.

  at the same time we might remember others that were arrogant, selfish, abusive and oppressive.

  the elder who chaired my JC is a CO has been for a few years, decent man TBH and a friend of the family for many years, he helped me out a lot during my JC and helped me through it, I was ready to throw in the towel he saw it was a fit up, he said he would help the appeal JC turn the decision around, he was right I beat the original decision to DF, often wonder about him.

  I thought he came across particularly obnoxious in the interview and we know he was clearly lying through his teeth, its a shame that the majority of the media have so little idea how to question a jw bigwig when the spotlight is on them, if only it could have been any of us! a slimly snake of a man, a rat. Has he made the Branch Coordinator role yet?
