I’m a huge fan of Joan Rivers, she’s one of those rare politically incorrect liberals that is willing to make fun of anyone. I started googling “Joan Rivers and Gun” and couldn’t find much, I don’t think she was a gun hater, although she was a gun owner as this episode in her life shows:
“What saved me was my dog jumped into my lap. I thought, “No one will take care of him.” It wasn’t a friendly dog—only to me. I adored this dog. He was theoretically a Yorkie, his mother cheated. His name was Spike. He was the way you want your dog to be, devoted only to you. I was sitting in this big empty house in Bel Air, with a phone with five extensions which we no longer needed. I had the gun in my lap, and the dog sat on the gun. I lecture on suicide because things turn around. I tell people this is a horrible, awful dark moment, but it will change and you must know it’s going to change and you push forward. I look back and think, “Life is great, life goes on. It changes.””

Notice she never blames the gun, then gun was just a tool. If a bottle of pills or a kitchen knife had been on her lap, the result would have been the same.
Either way, while Joan wasn’t a friend of the 2nd Amendment, she wasn’t an enemy either, and considering her views on Israel’s right of self-defense, perhaps she could have realized is the same with civilians.
In the end, Joan was a real comedian as opposed to comedians who became activists as Margaret Cho, Roseanne Barr, John Stewart and Bill Maher. Activism isn’t funny, you wouldn’t want me on stage! So kudos to Joan for decades of laughter, as someone who has seen her comedy specials on Bravo, her appearance on Celebrity Apprentice, a few episodes of How did you get so rich, etc, I can say she will be missed.
So in her honor, here’s a few of her best jokes:
- I have no sex appeal. If my husband didn’t toss and turn, we’d never have had the kid.
- People say that money is not the key to happiness, but I always figured if you have enough money, you can have a key made.
- The first time I see a jogger smiling, I’ll consider it.
- My best birth control now is just to leave the lights on
- My vagina is like Newark. Men know it’s there, but they don’t want to visit.
- A man can sleep around, no questions asked. But if a woman makes 19 or 20 mistakes, she’s a tramp.
-
My husband killed himself. And it was my fault. We were making love and I took the bag off my head.
I was so ugly that they sent my picture to Ripley’s Believe It or Not and he sent it back and said, “I don’t believe it.”
Elizabeth Taylor is so fat, she puts mayonnaise on aspirin.
If Kate Winslet had dropped a few pounds, the Titanic would never have sunk.
I blame myself for David Gest. It was me who told Liza Minnelli to find herself a man who wouldn’t sleep with other women.
Madonna has just lost 30 pounds — she shaved her legs.
