Did you see Steven Wright at last year's Academy Awards, accepting an Oscar
for his short film? After his name was announced, he slowly walked up to the
podium, stood there a moment, and then . . . he DIDN'T say "Thanks"!

Saw him live - it was hysterical! I think one of the best things he does is
his entrance - walks out, picks up the mic, looks around, walks around the
stage, listens to the crowd.. and.. "Thanks." (said as dully as possible).
I'm not going to sit here and try to remember all of his jokes, 'cause I
never will, but one of my favorites is:
"Every so often, I like to go to the window, look up, and smile for a

In Vegas, I got into a long argument with the man at the roulette
wheel over what I considered to be an odd number.
While I was gone, somebody rearranged on the furniture in my
bedroom. They put it in _exactly_ the same place it was.
When I told my roommate, he said: Do I know you?
When I have a kid, I want to buy one of those strollers for twins.
Then put the kid in and run around, looking frantic.
When he gets older, I'd tell him he used to have a brother,
but he didn't obey.
A child's mind is a terrible thing, ... not to fuck with!

Some amusing Steve Wright sayings, from various sources, some
from memory, in random order.
Last updated: 900920
Someone sent me a postcard picture of the earth. On the back it
said, "Wish you were here."
Cross country skiing is great if you live in a small country.
I spilled spot remover on my dog. Now he's gone.
If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the
precipitate.
"Did you sleep well?" "No, I made a couple of mistakes."
My dental hygienist is cute. Every time I visit, I eat a whole
package of Oreo cookies while waiting in the lobby. Sometimes
she has to cancel the rest of the afternoon's appointments.
My socks DO match. They're the same thickness.
"Officer, I know I was going faster than 55MPH, but I wasn't
going to be on the road an hour."
I hate it when my foot falls asleep during the day because that
means it's going to be up all night.
I have two very rare photographs. One is a picture of Houdini
locking his keys in his car. The other is a rare photograph of
Norman Rockwell beating up a child.
I stayed up all night playing poker with tarot cards. I got a
full house and four people died.
I used to work in a fire hydrant factory. You couldn't park
anywhere near the place.
I went to the hardware store and bought some used paint. It was
in the shape of a house. I also bought some batteries, but they
weren't included.
I went to the museum where they had all the heads and arms from
the statues that are in all the other museums.
It's a small world, but I wouldn't want to have to paint it.
Right now I'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time.
What's another word for Thesaurus?
When I get real bored, I like to drive downtown and get a great
parking spot, then sit in my car and count how many people ask
me if I'm leaving.
When I was crossing the border into Canada, they asked if I had
any firearms with me. I said, "Well, what do you need?"
You can't have everything. Where would you put it?
A lot of people are afraid of heights. Not me, I'm afraid of
widths.
If you were going to shoot a mime, would you use a silencer?

I planted some bird seed. A bird came up. Now I don't know
what to feed it.
I made a chocolate cake with white chocolate. Then I took it to
a potluck. I stood in line for some cake. They said, "Do you
want white cake or chocolate cake?" I said, "yes".
My aunt gave me a walkie-talkie for my birthday. She says if
I'm good, she'll give me the other one next year.
I went to the bank and asked to borrow a cup of money. They
said, "What for?" I said, "I'm going to buy some sugar."
I eat swiss cheese from the inside out.
I had amnesia once or twice.
I bought a million lottery tickets. I won a dollar.
I got a chain letter by fax. It's very simple. You just fax a
dollar bill to everybody on the list.
I plugged my phone in where the blender used to be. I called
someone. They went "Aaaaahhhh..."
My friend Sam has one leg. I went to his house. I couldn't go
up the stairs.
The sun never sets on the British Empire. But it rises every
morning. The sky must get awfully crowded.
I brought a mirror to Lovers' Lane. I told everybody I'm
Narcissus.
You know how it is when you decide to lie and say the check is
in the mail, and then you remember it really is? I'm like that
all the time.
How many people does it take to change a searchlight bulb?
I was in the grocery store. I saw a sign that said "pet
supplies". So I did. Then I went outside and saw a sign that
said "compact cars".

I still have my Christmas Tree. I looked at it today. Sure

My roommate got a pet elephant. Then it got lost. It's in the

Smoking cures weight problems... eventually...
I had fried octopus last night. You have to be really quiet

falls on the floor.
Yesterday I told a chicken to cross the road. It said, "what
for?"
I xeroxed my watch. Now I have time to spare.
I took a course in speed waiting. Now I can wait an hour in
only ten minutes.
I eat swiss cheese. But I only nibble on it. I make the holes
bigger.
I moved into an all-electric house. I forgot and left the porch
light on all day. When I got home the front door wouldn't open.
I got a garage door opener. It can't close. Just open.
You know how it is when you go to be the subject of a psychology

Sally plays strip poker. Whenever she loses, she has to put

Here are my categories, with examples (his):
ENGLISH:
I had some eyeglasses. I was walking down the street when
suddenly the prescription ran out.
I got food poisoning today. I don't know when I'll use it.
REVERSALS / SYMMETRY:
I put my air conditioner in backwards. It got cold outside.
The weatherman on TV was confused. "It was supposed to be hot
today."
I was in a job interview and I opened a book and started
reading. Then I said to the guy, "Let me ask you a question.
If you are in a spaceship that is traveling at the speed of
light, and you turn on the headlights, does anything happen?"
He said, "I don't know." I said, "I don't want your job."
SIMILARITY / ANALOGY:
I was in the first submarine. Instead of a periscope, they had
a kaleidoscope. "We're surrounded."
I went camping and borrowed a circus tent by mistake. I didn't
notice until I got it set up. People complained because they
couldn't see the lake.
WRONG METHODS / REASONS / MECHANISMS:
When I turned two I was really anxious, because I'd doubled my
age in a year. I thought, if this keeps up, by the time I'm six
I'll be ninety.
Sponges grow in the ocean. That just kills me. I wonder how
much deeper the ocean would be if that didn't happen.
IDEMPOTENCE / ADDITION OF EFFECTS (REPETITION):
I put instant coffee in a microwave oven and almost went back in
time.
It's a fine night to have an evening.
Even snakes are afraid of snakes.
SELF:
I can't stop thinking like this.
This isn't all true.
You know how it is when you're walking up the stairs, and you
get to the top, and you think there's one more step? I'm like
that all the time.
NAAAHH:
I put hardwood floors on top of wall-to-wall carpet.
Tinsel is really snakes' mirrors.
TRIVIALIZATION:
Two babies were born on the same day at the same hospital. They
lay there and looked at each other. Their families came and
took them away. Eighty years later, by a bizarre coincidence,
they lay in the same hospital, on their deathbeds, next to each
other. One of them looked at the other and said, "So. What did
you think?"
My grandfather gave me a watch. It doesn't have any hands or
numbers. He says it's very accurate. I asked him what time it
was. You can guess what he told me.

I'm six I'll be ninety.
was teasing them by watering them with ice cubes.
When I was five years old I was on a merry go round. There was a
gunshot nearby. The horses stampeded. There I was running down
the street on a purple wooden horse.
I'm kinda tired. I was up all night trying to round off infinity.
Then I got bored and went out and painted passing lines on curved
roads.
Doin' a little work around the house. Putting hardwood floors
over wall-to wall carpeting. I put fake brick wallpaper over a
real brick wall, just so I'd be the only one who knew. People
come over and I'm gonna say Go ahead, touch it .. it feels real.
I have paintings on the walls of the rooms above them, just so
I'll never have to go upstairs.
I don't like the sound of my phone ringing so I put my phone
inside my fish tank. I can't hear it, but every time I get a call
I see the fish go like this <<<>>><<>><<<<. I go down to the pet
store -- Gimme another ten guppies I got a lotta calls yesterday.
My girlfriend does her nails with white-out. When she's asleep, I
go over there and write misspelled words on them.
Are There any questions ????
One night I walked home very late and fell asleep in somebody's
satellite dish. My dreams were showing up on TV's all over the
world.
I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything
specifically.
I was watching the superbowl with my 92 year old grandfather. The
team scored a touchdown. They showed the instant replay. He
thought they scored another one. I was gonna tell him, but I
figured the game HE was watching was better.
My school colors were clear. I'm not naked I'm in the band.
Last year I went fishing with Salvador Dali. He was using a
dotted line. He caught every other fish.
I owed my friend George 25 dollars. For about three weeks I owed
it to him. The whole time I had the money on me -- he didn't know
it. Walkin' through New York City, 2:30 in the morning and got
held up. He said gimme all your money. I said, Wait a minute. I
said, George, here's the 25 dollars I owe you. The the thief took
a thousand dollars out of his own money and he gave it to
George. At gunpoint made me borrow a thousand dollars from
George.

the speed limit is 55 miles per hour?'
'Yes, officer, but I wasn't going to be out that long...'

Gallagher is funny, but he is vulgar at times. However, he does have
the talent to recognize that humor is not a dribble of profanity. (Now
if only the Comedy Works performers would get this . . .)
For funny but not vulgar, I would recommend Rita Rudner and Mark
McCullem (sp?).

I've seen the same EXACT question in fifty physics books. (Well, they used
kilometers per second, but that's nothing.)
I have the world's largest collection of seashells. I keep it on all the
beaches of the world... perhaps you've seen it.... -Steven Wright

could you please send me a copy? I haven't seen Steve Wright for ages and
these quotes are wonderful therapy.

>> head lights on, what happens? -Steven Wright
The answer is the exect same thing that happens when you turn
your headlights on at 60 MPH. 186,000 miles an hour is 3600
times slower than the speed of light and in the ballpark
of the speed interplanetary probes reach :-}
