Yeah. Here is the proof that Roland does have a good sense of humour. :lol:

That one made me laugh out loud - hilarious!Quote:
"I told her about that laugh!" - The Tick Tock Man.
:P
Here's another great Tick Tock quote, although its not really a funny one.
"Have you heard of people with short fuses? Well, I have no fuse at all, and there's a thousand could testify to it if I hadn't stilled their tongues for good."
"Do any of us, except in our dreams, truly expect to be reunited with our hearts’ deepest loves, even when they leave us only for minutes, and on the most mundane of errands? No, not at all. Each time they go from our sight we in our secret hearts count them as dead. Having been given so much, we reason, how could we expect not to be brought as low as Lucifer for the staggering presumption of our love?"
That's a good one, who was it?
I think you would have to say "the narrator". It isn't spoken by any of the characters.
One more I like:
"Fools are the only folk on the earth who can absolutely count on getting what they deserve."
Another one that always cracks me up on my re-reads, is Eddie's Nozz-A-La commercial. :D
"When I'm travelling through the Land of Oz in my new Takuro Spirit, I drink Nozz-A-La! It fills me up but never fills me out! It makes me happy to be a man! It makes me know God! It gives me the outlook of an angel and the balls of a tiger! When I drink Nozz-A-La, I say 'Gosh! Ain't I glad to be alive!'"
I can't neglect this one either.
"And now, all these years later, it seemed to him that the most horrible fact of human existence was that broken hearts mended."
And this one:
"Roland sings, Roland dances, and to top it all off," he said, "Roland stage-dives like Joey Ramone."
From Dark Tower VII:
1) Callahan: "may you find your tower, roland, and breach it, and may you climb to the top."
2) Not a quote but a thought from Jake regarding things Roland told hiim......"you needn't die happy when your time comes, but you must die satisified, for you have lived your life from beginning to end and ka is always served."
This was followed by the line "Jake Chambers surveryed the Dixie Pig with a satisfied mind."
3) Not a quote but a line about Oy....."the body was far smaller then the heart it held."
it is a moot point. I, like Letti, always thought he was joking. By the way, I wish someone would make a thread dedicated to Roland's allegedly absent sense of humor. Some unexpected discoveries could be made.
He said it as a joke, but for the main reason of catching Eddie off guard. Even his joking had ulterior motives.
I don't remember the exact wording, but I like that line in DT VII when

"Do you think they're dangerous?" Susannah asked. They were approaching a large, ramshackle building that might once have been a storage shed or an abandoned country market, and she eyed it uneasily, her hand dropping to the butt of the gun she wore on her chest.
"Will a strange dog bite?" the gunslinger countered.
"What's that mean?" Eddie asked. "I hate it when you start up with your Zen
Buddhist shit, Roland."
"It means I don't know," Roland said. "Who is this man Zen Bud*dhist? Is he wise like me?"
Eddie looked at Roland for a long, long time before deciding the gunslinger was making one of his rare jokes. "Ah, get outta here," he said. He saw one corner of Roland's mouth twitch before he turned away. 06-01-2007 12:15 PMB RagAh, I suppose you're right. 06-01-2007 01:35 PMBethanyNot a quote but I love "tooter fish".
