Retorts,expressions Sayings Etc

[in a mo]

My best friend was a Taxi driver ,he was telling me of a Taxi drivers retort if a female passenger said a certain statement during the journey ,this was first told to him 26 years previous and in the 26 years he never had the occasion to say it. The statement "I have never come this way before" to which the Taxi driver would reply "It must be the Cobble Stones"
I at first did not understand the qwip I thought it was the Taxi drivers way of deflecting a more serious note implying the driver might be using a longer route.I am sure there are well known retorts to statements ie Morecambe and Wise ,The 2 Ronnies etc.Any ideas please ,I am desperately trying to explain my point but I am finding it a little difficult without some previous classic retorts.
Thank You friends.

I liked Morecambe's reply to André Previn, "I am playing all the right notes, but not necessarily in the right order".

Wasn't the M&W classic: 'two old men sitting in deckchair, and one said...'

the gag was, they never delivered the line; 'it's nice out'

Max Miller classic:

'I was walking in the mountains along a very narrow ledge. A beautiful young woman appeared coming the opposite way.
I didn't know whether to toss meself off or block her passage.'

"I have never come this way before"

if from a female horse rider;

'do you normally ride side saddle?'

Zeuhl - wasn't that Max Wall? I thought he was banned for it.

Long time ago, so memory could be playing tricks.

No Max Wall was best known latterly as Professor Wallofski with the funny walks

Max Wall was the frequently banned 'cheeky chappy'

just to clarify

i think the M&W joke in its entirity is:

'two old men sitting in deckchairs, and one said..

'it's nice out today'

and the other one said

'yes it is, shall i get mine out as well?'

[Zeuhl]

LOL

Now i'm doing it

Max MILLER was the frequently banned 'cheeky chappy'

Three old women are sitting and chatting on a Park Bench, when a Flasher walks up to them and opens his coat, Two had a stroke but the other one couldn't reach!
