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.
