Here's my favorite Steven Wright joke: "In my house there's this light switch that doesn't do anything. Every so often I would flick it on and off, just to check. Yesterday, I got a call from a woman in Germany. She said, 'Cut it out'."
I don't know why, but that cracks me up every single time. Now, I'm off to check YouTube to see if there's a clip of it. His delivery is priceless, or as Bania would say to Jerry Seinfeld, "That's gold, Jerry, gold!" Yeah, I watched way too much Seinfeld.
My very first boyfriend, when I was 14, had a lot of Steven Wright's patter memorized. He lived in a trailer and so of course he knew the part about putting his keys in his house and it starting up and how he drove it around. The best part is that I didn't know (and he didn't tell me) that it was somebody else's comedic genius that he was passing off as his own. I thought he was the smartest and funniest boy ever.
I spend my day trying to rearrange and organize it!!!!!

ReplyDeleteI actually have that stamp!!
ReplyDeletelol...it sure would be fun to try, but only the 'everything' that I really would LIKE to have, not really 'everything'!
ReplyDeleteWhich is why my words are usually "Why? Why? Why did I buy *this*?"
ReplyDeleteWell, unless I have something (ahem) stronger to say about it at the moment! :D
