Steven Wright

[dapples]

If you're not familiar with the work of Steven Wright, he's the famously erudite scientist and comic who once said: "I woke up one morning and all of my stuff had been stolen... and replaced by exact duplicates." His mind sees things differently from most of us, to our amazement and amusement.



Here are some of his gems:


1 - I'd kill for a Nobel Peace Prize.

2 - Borrow money from pessimists. They don't expect it back.

3 - Half the people you know are below average.

4 - 99% of lawyers give the rest a bad name.

5 - 82.7% of all statistics are made up on the spot.

6 - A conscience is what hurts when all your other parts feel so good.

7 - A clear conscience is usually the sign of a bad memory.

8 - If you want the rainbow, you got to put up with the rain


9 - All those who believe in psychokinesis, raise my hand.

10 - The early bird may get the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese. (MY FAV)

11 - I almost had a psychic girlfriend, but she left me before we met

12 - OK, so what's the speed of dark?

13 - How do you tell when you're out of invisible ink?

14 - If everything seems to be going well, you have obviously overlooked something.

15 - Depression is merely anger without enthusiasm.

16 - When everything is coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.

17 - Ambition is a poor excuse for not having enough sense to be lazy.

18 - Hard work pays off in the future; laziness pays off now.

19 - I intend to live forever......so far, so good.

20 - If Barbie is so popular, why do you have to buy her friends?

21 - Eagles may soar, but weasels don't get sucked into jet engines.

22 - What happens if you get scared half to death twice?

23 - My mechanic told me, "I couldn't repair your brakes, so I made your horn louder."

24 - Why do psychics have to ask you for your name?

25 - If at first you don't succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried.

26 - A conclusion is the place where you got tired of thinking.

27 - Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

28 - The hardness of the butter is proportional to the softness of the bread.

29 - To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is research.

30 - The problem with the gene pool is that there is no lifeguard.

31 - The sooner you fall behind, the more time you'll have to catch up.

32 - The colder the x-ray table, the more of your body is required to be on it.

33 - Everyone has a photographic memory; some just don't have film

34 - If your car could travel at the speed of light, would your headlights work?

DISCLAIMNER: if this is a repost...sworry I AM blonde .

-Curiosity killed the cat, but for awhile I was a suspect.

I remember one line he said he had the largest sea shell collection in the world, it was so large he had to scatter it on all the beaches.

"I spilled spot remover on my dog, and now I can't find him."

[E-man]

Not sure if this is his....

Why do we park on a driveway and drive on a parkway...

[Ducky]

I put my car key in my front door, and it fit.. so I started my house up and drove off.

I lost my socks, so I called information to find out where they were. The operator told me to look behind the couch, and they were there.

Are we talking about the same Steven Wright? The Dude on the Couh from Half Baked? I agree that he is f ing hilarious, but when did he become an "erudite scientist?"
