Emo Philips
Emo Philipsis an American entertainer and comedian born in the Chicago suburb of Downers Grove. Much of his standup comedy stems from the use of paraprosdokians spoken in a wandering falsetto tone of voice and a confused, childlike delivery of his material to produce the intended comic timing in a manner invoking the 'wisdom of children' or the idiot savant...

I was with this girl the other night and from the way she was responding to my skillful caresses, you would have sworn that she was conscious from the top of her head to the tag on her toes.
The Scots are a very tough people. They have drive-by headbuttings. In Glasgow a sweatband is considered a silencer.
I pray a simple prayer every morning. It's an ecumenical prayer. Whether you're Catholic or Jewish or Muslim or Hindu, I think it speaks to the heart of every faith. It goes “Lord please break the laws of the universe for my convenience. Amen.”
Some mornings, it's just not worth chewing through the leather straps.
I've learned that you can't make someone love you. All you can do is stalk them and hope they'll panic and give in.

Not everybody hates me. Only the people who've met me.
Every night my wife used to give me a foot massage. And my face would smell weird afterwards, but...
I was walking down fifth avenue today and I found a wallet, and I was gonna keep it, rather than return it, but I thought: well, if I lost a hundred and fifty dollars, how would I feel? And I realized I would want to be taught a lesson.
I read that nine out of 10 women fantasize about having an unknown man leap through their bedroom window at night and make mad, passionate love to them. Who would think with those odds, I would now be facing 150 hours of community service.
I'm not a fatalist; even if I were, what could I do about it?
I asked God for a bike, but I know God doesn't work that way. So I stole a bike and asked for forgiveness.
My girlfriend told me that she was seeing another man. I told her to rub her eyes.
The battle of the sexes will never be won as long as we keep sleeping with the enemy.
