Some quotes from Steven Wright:

"Curiosity killed the cat, but for a while I was a suspect."

"Everywhere is walking distance if you have the time."

"I bought some batteries, but they weren't included."

"I have an existential map. It has 'You are here' written all over it.

"I used to work in a fire hydrant factory. You couldn't park anywhere near the place."

"I was walking down the street wearing glasses when the prescription ran out."

"If you shoot at mimes, should you use a silencer?"

"It doesn't make a difference what temperature a room is, it's always room temperature."

"It's a small world, but I wouldn't want to paint it."

"Last night I stayed up late playing poker with Tarot cards. I got a full house and four people died."

"Last night somebody broke into my apartment and replaced everything with exact duplicates... When I pointed it out to my roommate, he said, 'Do I know you?'"

"Last year I went fishing with Salvador Dali. He was using a dotted line. He caught every other fish."

"My theory of evolution is that Darwin was adopted."

"There's a fine line between fishing and just standing on the shore like an idiot."

"What's another word for Thesaurus?"

"When I woke up this morning my girlfriend asked me, 'Did you sleep good?' I said 'No, I made a few mistakes.'"

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

"In named my dog stay, C'mere Stay"

I have his "I Have a Pony" album which is still available on Amazon. It may be the best comedy album ever made.

I've seen him live only once. Years ago, I worked for a very, very, large computer company and they had him at an awards banquet. He was introduced to the audience as a systems engineer from some midwestern city and invited up on stage to receive an award. Naturally, he proceeded to bring the house down with jokes etc.
 
"I had one switch in my new house that didn't do anything. I kept turning it on and off. I got this postcard from Australia. It said "Stop it"."
Or words to that effect, anyway.
Steven Wright is hilarious.

Here's one I loved,
I went to the corner market. The sign in the window said Open 24 hours. They were closing as I drove up. I said" The sign says open 24 hours." The clerk looked at me and said" Not in a row."

A couple of years ago I, no wait that was yesterday.

I was very surprised at how many of you guys like Steven Wright as his humor is unique.I have enjoyed him for many years and could even hear his deadpan delivery while reading the jokes.

My favorite S. Wright.

"The alphabit... why is it in that order?

Is it because of that song?"

too funny, and to this day, I wonder about the answer to that question....
