My slice the other day about walking led Brian Rozinsky to comment that it reminded him of a quote by the comedian Steven Wright: “Everything is within walking distance if you have the time.”
I love Steven Wright. Ever since I saw him on a comedy special, I’ve loved his playing with words. So Brian’s comment sent me on a quest for more Wright. Thus:
`“Why do we drive on a parkway, but park in a driveway?”
“I spilled spot remover on my dog. He’s gone now.”
“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.”
“I bought a house on a one-way dead-end road. I don’t know how I got there.”
“I almost had a psychic girlfriend, but she left me before we met.”
“For every action, there is an equal and opposite criticism.”
There are lots more here.

DeleteI love Steven Wright! I once saw him do his gig live. Hilarious! Thanks for the link to more great quotes like: "7 percent of statistics are made up on the spot!"
ReplyDeletei was going to include that quote, but thought I'd leave it for discovery by others! So glad you got to see him live.
