Of Quips and Quotes

Quips – a witty or funny observation or response, usually made on the spur of the moment, or it could be a clever, usually taunting remark.

The following quips are funny, and at the same time, there is truth in them. Maybe that is why they make us laugh – because we are able to see the humour, and relate to what’s being said. Sometimes, we find it funny because we are caught out, the quip took us by surprise.

I hope there will be at least a few in this collection that bring on a smile. Remember the ones you like, and go make your friends laugh.

May your days be filled with laughter.
