Bob Newhart
Don't ever have two dogs. That way you won't know which one to blame.
Bob Newhart
You should have a value system. You can win if you stick with your value system.

I think that what comes through in Chicago humor is the affection. Even though youre poking fun at someone or something, theres still an affection for it.
Bob Newhart
You shouldn't get too close to the truth, because then maybe you stop being funny.
Bob Newhart
All I can say about life is, 'Oh God, enjoy it!'
Bob Newhart
