...................Paul Ryan

Paul: Pardon me, Phil, would you say that your mother is fat?

Phil: Why no, Paul. I certainly wouldn't.

Paul: Phil, has your mother ever been on a scale?

Phil: Why no, Paul. I don't believe she has.

Paul: Then how would she know she's not fat, Phil?

Phil: Because she has leukemia, and is going to die soon!

Paul: Oh, you clever devil!

Phil: Ta-da!

Paul: Ta-da!


Paul: Pardon me, Phil, but do you know any good recipes?

Phil: I certainly do, Paul.

Paul: Really? How many do you know?

Phil: At least six, Paul.

Paul: My goodness! How did you learn so many?

Phil: From one of the morally unscrupulous girls in the burlesque show!

Paul: Oh! Villainous! You saucy trickster, you! Learning recipes from someone other than your kin!

Phil: I am most certainly a foul man!

Phil: Your wife must be in tears!

Phil: Ta-da!

Paul: Ta-da!


Paul: Phil, have you eaten a pie today?

Phil: Why no, I don't believe I have, Paul. Why do you ask?

Paul: Well Phil, there's a half-eaten pie on the table.

Phil: You don't say?

Paul: Yes, there is. Who do you suppose ate it?

Phil: I was the one who ate it, Paul.

Paul: But you just said you didn't!

Phil: You asked if I ate a pie today. I didn't; I only ate part of a pie!

Paul: Oh, you rascal!

Phil: Ta-da!

Paul: Ta-da!


Paul: Phil, where would I go to find a proper hat?

Phil: What kind of hat would you like, Paul?

Paul: I don't know, Phil. What kind of hat is your favorite?

Phil: I enjoy pork-pie hats.

Paul: Pork-pie hats? Why would anyone ever want to wear a pork-pie hat, Phil?

Phil: Because then it would be an excuse for the hunger that causes one to eat the pie we talked about before!

Paul: Oh! Delicious play on words! You scoundrel!

Phil: Ta-da!

Paul: Ta-da!


Paul: Excuse me Phil, but do you know where my spectacles are?

Phil: Yes, I have seen them.

Paul: Where did you see them, Phil?

Phil: I saw your spectacles swimming in the toilet.

Paul: The toilet? My word! What were they doing there?

Phil: They figured swimming in the toilet was only natural, since your head is always up your buttocks!

Paul: My face is the brightest shade of red from embarrassment!

Phil: I should say it is!

Paul: You filthy rogue!

Phil: Ta-da!

Paul: Ta-da!
