Pie-losophy

Basically, although it seems possible everything this man said was a mixture of highly honed logic and utter irreverence, the pie joke is by far my favourite.

I have always been a huge fan of the one-liner, leading pundits thus far being Mitch Hedberg, for whose improbable musings people have devoted whole sites:
"If you are flammable and have legs, you are never blocking a fire exit."
"I don't have a girlfriend. But I do know a woman who'd be mad at me for saying that."

Milton Jones, a now frequent face in panel show/comedic programming:
"People try to put him down - talking 'bout my blind alsation"

Douglas Adams, who never claimed to hold them at the centre of his repertoire but still flung out hundreds in every book he wrote:
"The ship hung in the air in exactly the way that bricks don't."
"What's so bad about being drunk?"

"Ask a glass of water"

Then there is possibly the only one-liner I have never, ever forgotten, by meister of cheesey stand-up, Tim Vine:
"I've got a sponge door - don't knock it."

I don't know why exactly I decided to write about one-liners, except perhaps because the more I hear them the more I'm convinced that the art of saying things in as brief and silly a manner as possible is devastatingly important.
