This is the joke that got cut on the day of the IF Awards ceremony.
EDDIE PERFECT walks on stage. Points at: PRESENTER (famous young Australian actor) who just presented an award and is leaving the stage. BECKONS him over.
Suddenly EDDIE slaps him.
PRESENTER
What’d you do that for?
EDDIE PERFECT
Shit I’m sorry, I thought you were Dimitriades.
PRESENTER
[taking that as a compliment] Oh, thank you.
EDDIE PERFECT
Go backstage and slap somebody. Serious. It’s the new planking.

As a human being I’m honest, I’m passionate, I’m courageous, I’m disciplined, I have a concentrated mind, I’m compassionate, I’m aware, I’m a good listener, I’m patient, I’m tolerant, I’m fun, I’m adventurous, I’m loving and I’m affectionate, I’m kind, I’m responsible, I am love. I don’t get caught up in my thoughts, I don’t give control to my ego, I don’t dwell on the past, I don’t worry about the future, because the only moment we have is this moment right now.
As witnessed on Judith Lucy’s Spiritual Journey.

“Unemployed at last.”
“Harry Joy was to die three times, but it was his first death which was to have the greatest effect on him…”
Even though I love -
“The hideous low scarred yellow horny and barren headland lies curled like a scorpion in a blinding sea and sky.”
- it’s hardly taken off. Are there any other great opening lines that people know of?
