Or how about:

If a tree falls on me in the forest and noone is around to hear me and I mute?

If the Catholic Church defrocks a priest who molests a child, are they making the punishment suit the crime?

Would the priest then be collared or decollared?

Only if he was into D&s play.

If a tree falls on a mime in the woods, does anybody care?

I would.....


I *like* trees.

If a tree fell on a Scot would anybody pine?

There is such a thing as a free lunch, especially if you're a Great White Shark.

A bona fide Wrightism from The Onion:

The Onion: Is there a God?
Steven Wright: Ahhh ... You'll have to ask Jesus.

Yes, there is a synonym for "thesaurus"
 
But Peter Mark Roget didn't find it. He compiled his Thesaurus in the eighteenth century, and this synonym's style just screams nineteenth:

synonymicon; n., -s [synonym + icon (as in lexicon)]: a lexicon of synonyms

(Webster's Third New International)

Aw c'mon folks, it's really not THAT hard to stay on topic...

From my experience, it seems like the people who most often say, "I'd like to give them a piece of my mind", don't have all that much to spare.

-

Metaphorically speaking, most people are allegorical.

-

If time is money, why does everyone tell me to stop and smell the roses? Do they know something I don't about the billing terms of this deal?

-

Why do people feel the need to give directions in terms of 'as the crow flies'? Are they just practicing for the day they actually run into Clark Kent?

-

Wouldn't it be funny if one day we learned that the punishment in hell is with ice, not fire? Think of all those bets you could finally collect on.
