On sex with wife Judy Finnigan: “When me and Judy were trying to conceive, I used to douse my balls in icy water before intercourse. Then Judy got pregnant again, it was an accident. Sorry Chloe, but you were. And you know it.

To a guest with a stammer: “You looked as if your head was going to come off.”
