Dead Funny

Text of the day: “I do. I know. I sound like that poor old cow in all those second-rate sitcoms. The one who’s desperate to sleep with Reg Varney. Or Sid or Benny or some other fat ugly bastard. Only one joke and it’s always on her, because they’re not interested. They don’t want her. They want the pneumatic bimbo who lives next door.” (Eleanor in Terry Johnson’s Dead Funny)
