    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...

    **********

    “I was trying to daydream, but my mind kept wandering.”

    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?

    If I were shipwrecked, and could only have one book, I'd want 'How to Build a Boat'

    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 almost had a psychic girlfriend but she left me before we met.

    I know the speed of light. What's the speed of dark?

    How do you tell when you're out of invisible ink?

    If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.

    Support bacteria - they're the only culture some people have.

    Hard work pays off in the future. Laziness pays off now.

    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.

    I remember a few.
    And I just tossed one in , can you spot it?
    He has unique angle of approach towards humor.




    Room temperature is always room temperature no matter what it is.

    I bought a cordless extension cord.

    I was driving 100 mph for no reason and the cops stopped me.
    Why are you driving so fast, the cop asked.
    Because I had my foot on the floor.
    Lets more gas into the engine and it goes faster.
    See this?
    This steers the car.

    He asked why I didn't stop for the Stop sign.
    I told him I don't believe everything I read.

    I was sworn in to be a witness in court.
    He said do you swear to tell the truth?
    I said, Yes. You're ugly. And I want to sleep with the lady in the jury.
    Should I keep going or are you going to ask questions?

    Filling out forms, when I see "Who to notify in emergency?"
    I put doctor.
    What the hell is my mother going to do?

    My cousin is a small claims court jester.

    Saw 2 signs in a gas station, Self Service and Help Wanted
    I went in and hired myself , and made myself boss.
    Then I took all the money and left.

    I know a bilingual illiterate . She can't read in two languages.

    I went to see a psychic , she smiled at me so I slapped her.
    I always strike a happy medium.

    What is the youngest you can die of old age?
