• "Whatever you may look like, marry a man your own age. As your beauty fades, so will his eyesight."—Phyllis Diller
• "Why do Jewish divorces cost so much? Because they're worth it."—Henny Youngman
• "I think men who have a pierced ear are better prepared for marriage. They've experienced pain and bought jewelry." — Rita Rudner
