Tommy Quote #89
Quote from Tommy in Dick Jokes
Tommy: No, I don't get it. Give me an example of what's funny.
August: Okay, let's see, I thought the movie Emma was really funny.
Tommy: What was funny about it?
August: Don't you get it? It was full of irony.
Tommy: Okay, so irony's funny.
August: Sure, because someone says something , and the opposite is actually true.
Tommy: Oh, okay, like when you told me Emma was gonna be a really great movie, when actually it sucked out loud?
August: Well, apparently, irony is a little too sophisticated for you.
Tommy: Either that or you don't know what's funny either.
August: I don't know what's funny? I'll have you know, at camp, I was voted "Miss Whimsy."
Tommy: Why? Was Miss Irony killed in a canoe accident?

Quote from Harry
Tommy: What happened to your coat?
Harry: I don't know what happened to it, so Ms. Dubcek let me borrow this one. Sweet woman.
Tommy: So you lost your coat? Oh, tough break.
Harry: I lost more than a coat, Tommy! I lost a friend, a buddy, a companion who kept me warm when it was cold and warmer when it was really sort of too hot to be wearing a coat.
Quote from Sally
Dick: Imagine how different war would be if instead of trying to kill each other, people just showed up armed with jokes.
Sally: But you could still have guns, right? Because, you know, eventually you'd stop laughing and want to get on with the killing.
Quote from Sally
Dick: Lieutenant, I need your help. I need you to find out what's funny.
Sally: Oh, I can't. [knocks Harry down with a plank of wood] I've got to build this, I ran out of room for my shoes.
Dick: Well, this is more important. It's about me!
Sally: Well, how am I supposed to know what's funny? [knocks Harry down again]
Tommy: What's so important about a sense of humor anyway?
Dick: Oh, come on, Tommy. Having a sense of humor is having the power to transform someone's mood, to lift his spirit. You give it to someone you love when she really needs it. And I just found out today that Mary's been getting it from another man.
Tommy: Dick, I think this whole " being funny" thing is just innate.
Dick: What do you think, Lieutenant?
Sally: What do I think? [Harry ducks as Sally swings the plank] I think either you got it or you don't. [Sally knocks down Tommy]
Dick: Oh! Look what you just did! [Sally knocks down Harry and then Tommy again]
Sally: What's wrong with you guys?
Dick: Come on! Wake up, you two! [sprays them with water] Come on! How am I ever gonna find out what's funny?
