Good idea for a thread! I have a section on GFO for some of my fave quotes of his. Here's a joke that always makes me laugh:
"What do you call a musician without a girlfriend? Homeless!"
I think my favorite is: "Wow, a sell-out crowd! The last time I sold out was when I did that Pepsi commercial with Don Johnson." Shows how he could make fun of himself.
Although I don't find anything nice, cool or interesting in drugs, I have always found this one hilarious: "When you blow your nose and your handkerchief looks like the flag of Japan, you know you're doing too much." I'm not sure if he came up with that himself, but I love this kind of...use of words.
As a Randy Newman/Ron Mael fan I wish he had utilized this "comic talent" more in his lyrics lyric writing.
Here's a couple more jokes.
How many guitar players do you need to change a light bulb?
Five, one to change it and four to say "I can do that."

This is from Cameron Crowe's 1975 Rolling Stone article. Earlier, they've been talking about how awards don't mean anything but a short while afterwards, they learn they've won a couple.
"Besides, we can’t be roguish underdogs anymore.” Frey grins and flips a cigarette into his mouth. “We have to be gracious winners.”
"This is the Eagles Assisted Living tour", at LROOE concerts.
"We're that band that wouldn't get back together now we're the band that won't go away."
During the HOTE tour:
Don H. (paraphrased): We would sit around rehearsing and drinking lots of beer. Everything sounds good then.
Glenn: So drink up ladies and gentlemen!
I recall hearing too that when he did a show in Hershey in Pennsylvania he sang again during PEF 'I wanna sleep with you in Chocolate tonight'.
'I must be leaving soon... its your world now'

A new one from the press line at the RRHOF a couple of years ago. It was directed at the photographers.
"That's enough of that nonsense. The next thing you know, I'll be recognised."
