My own...
Derrida:
"That which constitutes 'donutness'- as opposed to other objects, or ideas, in a particular set of objective semantics- is defined by the space around and between that what which constitutes particular instances of whatever is referred to by the word "donut"; thus, the presence of a space- a hole- in each donut corresponds to the logical spaces or holes surrounding "donutness" in semantic space, so that instances of pastries not containing such holes are never referred to as donuts, and semantic contradictions are avoided."
Spinoza:
"The Donut is merely a temporary manifestation of the Eternal Whole, to be later re-consumed by it in a moment of delicious rapture."

Hegel:
"The donuts currently enjoyed by Americans are merely a product of the phenomenology of the World Donut moving cyclically from East to West."
Popper:
"If it's possible to falsify the donutness of a particular donut by experimentation, then it has more of a right to call itself a donut than other donuts."

AlmondFlour: "You're going to hell for eating that donut!"
BitterCactus: "I quit donuts because they're bad for you. I only eat cinnamon rolls for my ADHD."
Pris#1: "Donuts banned"
MrBlueYoMind: "Can I have another donut?"
Ped: "The first doughnut machine did not come along until 1920, in New York City, when Adolph Levitt, an enterprising refugee from czarist Russia, began selling fried doughnuts from his bakery. Hungry theater crowds pushed him to make a gadget that churned out the tasty rings faster, and he did."

John Searle:
"Suppose that I am locked in a Krispy Kreme, and that I have never tasted a donut. Suppose I have been given formal instructions about what a donut tastes like, so that, with a blindfold on, I can tell you whether or not what you're giving me to taste is or is not a donut. But am I really sure what a donut tastes like, or do I simply know a set of instructions, and have a set of questionable experiences? Now suppose you give those same instructions to a computer. The computer will also tell you whether or not what you give it is a donut based on the instructions it has been given. Based on the same parameters, if we say that I know what a donut tastes like, then we have to say that a computer knows what a donut tastes like. And also, you will have invented the first computer with a mouth, and a sugar addiction. Congratulations."
Humor is just so much better when it requires a lot of inside knowledge to understand.

Not a bad analogy; the only thing is, the scientific "flashlight" was a philosophical invention. All fields of science originated as fields of philosophy; it is only when a field of philosophy generated a theory that was BOTH descriptive AND predictive in nature that that field split off from philosophy and became a field of its own. Relevant philosophers of today are not interested in reinventing the flashlight. Most people who have opinions about philosophy don't even have a clue about what sort of philosophy is being produced at this point in time, and base their opinions about philosophy on what it has produced historically (which, if we are being honest, is a lot of stuff, both really good, and really bad).
The most exciting fields of philosophy today are the philosophy of Science and Ethics. My particular favorites are the philosophy of Neuroscience and Bioethics/Philosophy of Medicine. There is one major problem, in my opinion with scientific research as it is currently published: first, that the implications of experimental conclusions are sometimes misrepresented, misinterpreted or overstated, sometimes unintentionally, and sometimes- unfortunately- intentionally, for the purposes of publicity, or to obtain funding for more research. You see this in the case of publicity stunts/marking gimmicks like "The God Particle", and when neuroscientists talk about their research in terms of old-hat pop-psychology terms like "IQ".
When practiced correctly, philosophy prunes scientific theories, allowing them to become more fruitful than they would otherwise have been. When practiced poorly, you get, well the majority of people. Because the truth is that philosophy began as the PURSUIT OF TRUTH. And almost everyone likes to believe that they care about the truth. Everyone likes to believe that they have got ways to discriminate between what is true and what is false. The reality is that some people are better at it than other people, and when it comes to Truth about anything outside of the sphere of peoples' personal lives, most of the population are piss poor philosophers.
