Best throwaway lines...

I was watching Paul Merton in Europe last night and there was a short piece about about his stay at the Alcatraz Hotel http://www.alcatraz-hotel.com/index.php?lang=en A former East German Prison turned hotel.

The austere receptionist showed Paul his cell/room

Receptionist: Only toilet and sink in here, I take you to the showers.

Paul: (To Camera) Ominous.

I laughed for about 10 minutes...

Would have been funnier if he was visiting Auschwitz.

I always enjoy Jeff Bridges "Yeah, I got a rash..." in The Big Lebowski.

Yes... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QwndLhZc70w about 5.40 in...

We have just heard that the Queen Mother has passed away.

We believe that Dodi Fayed and Lady Diana have been killed in a car crash

Robert Maxwell is dead.

All hilarious at the time and still gives me that warm feeling inside.

"You're always laughing in Auschwitz!"
