A few of her one liners.

I knew I was an unwanted baby when I saw that my bath toys were a toaster and a radio.
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.
A study says owning a dog makes you 10 years younger. My first thought was to rescue two more, but I don’t want to go through menopause again.
As acerbic and cutting as she could be towards others, she was also quite self-deprecating too.

Maybe there is a human limit to plastic surgeries. 200 and you're out?

I have always enjoyed NY humor and she was an example of what this is all about. Like Don Rickles, Jackie Gleason, Danny Kaye, Andy Kaufman, and others who were eccentric, abrasive, and had good one liners, she created legends about herself while still engaging in self effacement. In a sense she (like they) were having a good laugh at other people's expense but laughing at themselves at the same time.

Don Rickles is the Boss.

When he goes, that's the last of them.

He and Mel Brooks are the same age. Woody Allen is about 8 years younger. We sure had a lot of great Jewish comedians back in the day. My favorite was Grandpa Al Lewis:

Joan Rivers, sharp-tongued TV personality, has died

Did someone leave her in front of the fire for too long?

What was it she said?

Her recent remarks about Palestinians:

‘You started it. You’re dead, you deserve to be dead.’

‘They were told to get out. They didn’t get out. You don’t get out, you are an idiot. At least the ones that were killed were the ones with low IQs.’

When told of the rising death toll among the Palestinian population, she said ‘good’, adding: ‘Who cares?’

According to CNN, a source close to the investigation says Joan Rivers' personal doctor took a selfie with her while she was unconscious during her throat procedure.
The source also reveals that same doctor allegedly performed a biopsy on the comedian without her prior consent and that during that procedure, Rivers went into cardiac arrest.

Late comedienne Joan Rivers had one final shock in store for her Facebook fans on Friday morning when a note she set to promote the new Apple iPhone before her death earlier this month briefly popped up.
Calling the new iPhone 6 a "great achievement in design", Rivers promoted the new gadget as a "great product", much to the surprise of eagle-eyed fans, who thought the message was from the TV personality's ghost.
The post was quickly removed.
Here's what people had to say about the post on Twitter:
