"I must have foolishly glossed over my uvula!"
"Bananas."
"Same thing."
"Women! Come out with your pants down!"

"You can't fight in here! This is the War Room!"

I was just thinking about that after stumbling on a webcomic (Gone With The Blastwave) that plays to a similar vein of gallows humor.

"That reminds me of a joke. Knock knock!"
"Who's there?"
"Babs's uvula."
"Babs's uvula who?"
"I don't know, Babs. But I do know this...."

Darn, ya beat me to it. I didn't remember the specific line, but there's only one possible answer any time there's a trivia question that involves the word "uvula."

Not for a linguist. That's the little dangly thing at the back of your soft palate, which figures in some languages' sound systems, like the uvular fricative of the Parisian "r"... which reminds me, as Loiosh points out, that I have to finish this report on Amaziγ (Moroccan Berber, in which the γ represents that same sound) tonight. Back to work. Yes, yes, Loiosh, and thanks.

I recognize the first quote.

As for the last one..."Ich bin ein Berliner"? :)

I think the first if from Dr. Strangelove.

Numbers 3 and 4 are kind of generic.

If number 6 is a reference to the Kennedy thing, please see:

I like the reference as "the gaffe that never was."
