    Why didn't I think of these things myself?
    I'm in a squirly mood. For some reason I'm recalling some quotes from one of my favorite people, Steven Wright.

    ... so just thought I'd share some of them...

    I know, I know. Some of you will call this stupid stuff, but hey: to each his own. This guy is my favorite stand up comedian.

    I have abridged some of them...

    You can't have everything. Where would you put it?

    If toast always lands butter-side down, and cats always land on their feet, what happens if you strap toast on the back of a cat and drop it?

    When I'm not in my right mind, my left mind gets pretty crowded

    What's another word for Thesaurus?

    All those who believe in psychokinesis raise my hand.

    The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.

    I intend to live forever - so far, so good.

    If Barbie is so popular, why do you have to buy her friends?

    Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines.

    When I'm not in my right mind, my left mind gets pretty crowded.

    Boycott shampoo! Demand the REAL poo!

    Who is General Failure and why is he reading my hard disk?

    What happens if you get scared half to death twice?

    I used to have an open mind but my brains kept falling out.

    I couldn't repair your brakes, so I made your horn louder.

    Why do psychics have to ask you for your name?

    If at first you don't succeed, then skydiving definitely isn't for you.

    A conclusion is the place where you got tired of thinking.

    The hardness of the butter is proportional to the softness of the bread.

    The severity of the itch is proportional to the reach.

    To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is research.

    You never really learn to swear until you learn to drive.

    The problem with the gene pool is that there is no lifeguard.

    Monday is an awful way to spend 1/7th of your life.

    A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.

    If you must choose between two evils, pick the one you've never tried
    Before.

    A fool and his money are soon partying.

    Plan to be spontaneous tomorrow.

    If you think nobody cares about you, try missing a couple of payments.

    I'd kill for a Nobel Peace Prize.

    Bills travel through the mail at twice the speed of checks.

    Borrow money from pessimists-they don't expect it back.

    Half the people you know are below average.

    99 percent of lawyers give the rest a bad name.

    42.7 percent of all statistics are made up on the spot.

    A conscience is what hurts when all your other parts feel so good.

    **************

    Boy, I feel so much better after a good laugh.
