Henry "Henny" Youngman (original Yiddish surname Yungman; 16 March 1906 – 24 February 1998) was a British-born American comedian and violinist famous for "one-liners" - short, simple jokes delivered rapid-fire. His best known one-liner was "Take my wife ... please."In a time when many comedians told elaborate anecdotes, Youngman's routine consisted of telling simple one-liner jokes, occasionally with interludes of violin playing. These depicted simple, cartoon-like situations, eliminating lengthy build-ups and going straight to the punch line. He was known as the King of the One Liners, a title given him by columnist Walter Winchell. A stage performance by Youngman lasted only fifteen to twenty minutes, but it contained dozens of jokes, delivered one right after the other.

# Quote 1 [on seafood restaurants] The catch of the day was hepatitis. 2 While playing golf today, I hit two good balls. I stepped on a rake. 3 I just got back from a pleasure trip.

Drinks right out of the bottle. 6 My dad was the town drunk. Usually that's not so bad, but New York City? 7 I'll tell you how to beat the gambling in Las Vegas. When you get off the airplane, walk right into the propeller. 8 You can't buy love, but you can pay heavily for it. 9 When I read about the evils of drinking, I gave up reading. 10 How to drive a guy crazy: send him a telegram and on the top put 'page 2.' 11 I once wanted to become an atheist but I gave up. They have no holidays. 12 I was so ugly when I was born that the doctor slapped my mother. 13 I miss my wife's cooking - as often as I can. 14 My best friend ran away with my wife, and let me tell you, I miss him. 15 I've been married for 34 years, and I'm still in love with the same woman. If my wife ever finds out, she'll kill me. 16 I have terrible luck. Last week my chauffeur ran off without my wife. 17 Take my wife ... please!
