- kids I lift it over my head and tell them to get out of my yard or I'll throw
- it at them. -- Steven Wright
- The other night I came home late, and tried to unlock my house with my car
- keys. I started the house up. So, I drove it around for a while. I was

- mile...We had one cassette tape to listen to on the entire trip...I don't
- remember what it was. -- Steven Wright
- I saw a sign: "Rest Area 25 Miles". That's pretty big. Some people must be
- really tired. -- Steven Wright
- A cop stopped me for speeding. He said, "Why were you going so fast?" I said,
- "See this thing my foot is on? It's called an accelerator. When you push down
- on it, it sends more gas to the engine. The whole car just takes right off.
- And see this thing? This steers it." -- Steven Wright
- I was going 70 miles an hour and got stopped by a cop who said, "Do you know

- The judge asked, "What do you plead?" I said, "Insanity, your honour, who in
- their right mind would park in the passing lane?" -- Steven Wright

- then sit in my car and count how many people ask me if I'm leaving.
- -- Steven Wright
- Yesterday I parked my car in a tow-away zone...when I came back the entire area
- was missing. -- Steven Wright

- go to sleep." I said, "But I don't know how." She said, "It's real easy.
- Just go down to the end of tired and hang a left." So I went down to the end
- of tired, and just out of curiosity I hung a right. My mother was there, and
- she said "I thought I told you to go to sleep." -- Steven Wright
- I hate it when my foot falls asleep during the day because that means it's
- going to be up all night. -- Steven Wright

- I got up one morning and couldn't find my socks, so I called Information. She
- said, "Hello, Information." I said, "I can't find my socks." She said,
- "They're behind the couch." And they were! -- Steven Wright
- I went into this bar and sat down next to a pretty girl. She looked at me and
- said, "Hey, you have two different colored socks on." I said, "Yeah, I know,
- but to me they're the same because I go by thickness." -- Steven Wright
- I bought a self learning record to learn Spanish. I turned it on and went to
- sleep; the record got stuck. The next day I could only stutter in Spanish.
- -- Steven Wright
- I was going to tape some records onto a cassette, but I got the wires
- backwards. I erased all of the records. When I returned them to my friend, he
- said, "Hey, these records are all blank." -- Steven Wright
- Last year I went fishing with Salvador Dali. He was using a dotted line. He
- caught every other fish. -- Steven Wright
- There's a fine line between fishing and standing on the shore looking like an
- idiot. -- Steven Wright
- I bought a dog the other day...I named him Stay. It's fun to call him...
- "Come here, Stay! Come here, Stay!" He went insane. Now he just ignores me
- and keeps typing. -- Steven Wright
- I put contact lenses in my dog's eyes. They had little pictures of cats on
- them. Then I took one out and he ran around in circles. -- Steven Wright
