Why did the chicken cross the road?
EINSTEIN: Whether the chicken crossed the road or the road moved beneath the chicken depends upon your frame of reference.
QUANTUM PHYSICIST: Because you measured its momentum too precisely.
COLONEL SANDERS (Founder of Kentucky Fried Chicken): I missed one?

It could be Churchill or possibly W C Fields but there is a put down I remember.fresh_42 said:
After a brief conversation with a lady she looked at the gentleman in disgust and said,
"You are drunken."
He turned to her and said,
"Yes, and you madam you are ugly but in the morning I will be sober."

It is mean, I could never say that to anyone. Do I find it funny? Yes because if it was off the cuff..Ibix said:
There is another quote similar (but different)
Upper class gentlemen did not regularly bathe in the 18th century, they thought it was uncouth and something only commoners did. They used perfume instead. (This could be BS, a brother (cleric) taught me this at sixth form college )
A well off dandy was talking to a lady when she suddenly announced,
'Sir, you smell.'
He replied,
'No madam, YOU smell. I stink.'

The post-script notes at the end of the TV show "Northwoods Law" are usually pretty good. They tell you the end result of the cases that the Game Wardens dealt with in that episode. But this post-script made me do a double-take...
