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...

My girlfriend said to me in bed last night' 'you're a pervert' I said, 'that's a big word for a girl of nine'.
I ran three miles today. Finally I said, "Lady take your purse.
I got a letter from the IRS. Apparently I owe them $800. So I sent them a letter back. I said, "If you'll remember, I fastened my return with a paper clip, which according to your very own latest government pentagon spending figures will more than make up for the difference.
My parents were very protective. I couldn't even cross the street without them getting all excited, and placing bets.
I've been wrestling with reality for most of my life. I'm pleased to say I've won.
I tried body surfing once, but how often do you find a corpse?
My computer beat me at checkers, but I sure beat it at kickboxing.
Don't wear fur! Did you know, a single fur coat takes fifteen trees, just for the protest signs?
My girlfriend said, Emo, I'm seeing another man. I said, Well, try rubbing your eyes or something.
I discovered my wife in bed with another man, and I was crushed. So I said, 'Get off me, you two!'
When deciding between two competing theories, always go with the one that doesn't involve a magic spell.
I was walking home one night and a guy hammering on a roof called me a paranoid little weirdo. In morse code.
I got in a fight one time with a really big guy, and he said, 'I'm going to mop the floor with your face.' I said, 'You'll be sorry.' He said, 'Oh, yeah? Why?' I said, 'Well, you won't be able to get into the corners very well.'
I told my wife she looks sexy with black fingernails. Now she thinks I slammed the car door on her hand on purpose.
