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.
