Funny Quotes and Sayings by Women – Paula Poundstone
“Remember when you were considered an environmentalist when you didn’t throw junk out the car window? I sure do miss that simpler, happier time.” – Paula Poundstone.
“We should pass a new law. Nobody can get famous just by sleeping with a celebrity and getting naked in a magazine. You have to make a contribution to society first. You can still be in Playboy, you just have to do something worthwhile beforehand. ‘I’ve developed a vaccine, and I’d like to show you my breasts.’ Go ahead, you’ve earned it.” – Elayne Boosler.
“I’m lazy. At work my favorite part of the day is being on hold.” – Janet Rosen.
On Housework:
“Don’t cook. Don’t clean. No man will ever make love to a woman because she waxed the linoleum. ‘My God, the floor’s immaculate. Lie down, you hot b**ch!’” – Joan Rivers.
“I do clean up a little. If company is coming, I’ll wipe the lipstick off the milk container.” – Elayne Boosler.
“You get more confident when you’re married. When you’re single and you don’t hear from your boyfriend, you wonder, ‘Should I call him?’ When you’re married and you don’t hear from your husband, you wonder what you should call him.” – Rita Rudner.
On Cooking:
“I’ve been so busy, I don’t even have time to cook for my kids. I don’t wanna say we eat out a lot, but I’ve noticed that lately when I call my kids for dinner, they run to the car.” – Julie Kidd.
“Men are very strange. When they wake up in the morning they want things like toast. I don’t have those recipes.” – Elayne Boosler.
On Men:
“My mom always said, ‘Men are like linoleum floors. You lay them right, and you can walk on them for 30 years.’” – Brett Butler.
“I’m at a point where I want a man in my life, but not in my house. Just come in, attach the VCR, and get out.” – Joy Behar.
On Money:
“I saw a truck today. Side of the door it said, “Driver has no case.” I’m broke, too – but I don’t plaster it all over the side of my car.” – Margaret Smith.
“I got my first full-time job, but it’s weird. I could have sworn I was making more money in college, working for my parents as their daughter.” – Melanie Reno.
And a final quotation from Paula Poundstone:
“My mom is one of those really angry moms who gets mad at absolutely everything. Once when I was a little kid, I accidentally knocked a Flintstones glass off the kitchen table. She said, ‘Well, dammit, we can’t have nice things.’”

Hi Funny T-Shirts,
Nice to hear from you! Since these aren’t mine (I didn’t make them up) and I don’t have copyright — I’m just reproducing them — I can’t say whether you can use them for your funny t-shirts.
I’m not sure what the law is on that. But if you make t-shirts, that’d be a good thing for you to know about! Replicating funny quotes and sayings from funny women like Paula Poundstone could be a whole new opportunity for expansion for you…
All best,
Laurie
