John Ross (JR) Ewing's Punch Lines

In my previous post, Dallas Vacation, I had mentioned that I will write a post listing some of JR’s (television character in the Dallas TV Serial) punch lines that I like. A few of those punch lines were already mentioned by a reader while writing his comments. I am not going to repeat them. These are the ones I like:

                                                           John Ross (JR) Ewing
Good Morning JR. 
That remains to be seen. 

Like my daddy always said: if you can’t get in the front door, just go around to the back. 

Anything worth having is worth going for – all the way. 

You’re becoming a pretty poor excuse for a wife. 

I wouldn’t give you the dust off my car. 

A conscience is like a boat or a car. If you feel you need one, rent it. 

Contracts were made to be broken, but a handshake is the law of God. 

Never interfere with a man who’s correcting his wife. 

Never tell the truth when a good lie will do it. 

All that matters is winnin’. 

Revenge is the single most satisfying feeling in the world. 

Lots of men have tried to run roughshod over me – you can visit them in the cemetery. 

And finally, my personal all time favorite: 

JR: Call our lawyer now and ask him this question. 
Bobby: JR, it is 2 am in the morning and he is sleeping. 
JR: Wake him up. For the money we are paying, he should be sleeping on our front porch.

    JR Ewing was an absolute TV icon.
    He was the man they love to hate...and the star of a very popular show.
    How many times do you get to have the villain be the megastar of the show!

    Man: Are you JR Ewing?
    JR: Yes, I am.
    Man: I've heard a lot about you.
    JR: Nothing good I hope. (as he chuckles)

    Regards,
    Sir Mixalot (Seattle's all time best rapper)
    p.s. Even though my most famous song is Baby Got Back...my favorite line is from Posse On Broadway.

    Every time we do, the sucka M.C.'s wanna battle
    I'm the man they love to hate, the J.R. Ewing of Seattle

      Thanks for your comments Sir Mixalot. I know you are one of the best rappers in the country. I like all your singles and albums. You can call yourself "the JR Ewing of Seattle". I know JR Ewing. JR Ewing is a friend of mine. And, you are no JR Ewing.

      Thanks for your comments Rajesh. By TR, I assume you meant T. Rajendar. Is he that villainous?

      Good ones :D
      Although they are punch lines but still I want to say I strongly disagree with the following:

      Never tell the truth when a good lie will do it.

      All that matters is winnin’.

      P.S I do not know If you do tag posts or not but I hope you find this one interesting. I tagged you.

    Thanks for your comments Ph_. Take it easy. These are only punch lines from a fictional character in a television serial. Supposed to be comic.

    Thanks for tagging me. I will take up.

    Very meaningful all the ones just like popular quotes. Of course worthy quotes by a popular man will be popular only.

      Thanks for your comments Sarala. I personally think "identification" does exist. Say AT&T, you immediately identify with telephones. Say IBM, you immediately identify with computers. Say, Xerox, you immediately identify with photo copying.
