Top 5 quotes from Jack Handey [Deep Thoughts]

"Today I accidentally stepped on a snail on the sidewalk in front of our house. And I thought, I too am like that snail. I build a defensive wall around myself, a 'shell' if you will. But my shell isn't made out of a hard, protective substance. Mine is made out of tinfoil and paper bags."
"Do you know what happens when you slice a golf ball in half? Someone gets mad at you. I found this out the hard way."
"You can't tell me that cowboys, when they're branding cattle, don't sort of 'accidentally' brand each other every once in a while. It's their way of letting off stress."
"If you work on a lobster boat, sneaking up behind someone and pinching him is probably a joke that gets old real fast."
