Well, just being stupid and politically incorrect doesn't work. You can be politically incorrect if you're smart.

I'm married to a beautiful and talented woman who can lift your spirits just by looking at you.

There's no such thing as too far. If it works it's funny, if it doesn't work it's too far, it's stupid. Really there's no such thing as "too far." You're joining the politically correct when you use words like "too far." You don't want to join the army of politically correct.

Some critics are emotionally desiccated, personally about as attractive as a year-old peach in a single girl's refrigerator.

I realised that all one really had to do was just observe. Observe and slightly exaggerate, and you had comedy. Instead of creating a mythical premise for a stupid joke, I found playing off truth got the best result.

If presidents can't do it to their wives, they do it to their country.

I always thought it was great to be able to make people feel better. It was a little like being God.
