Steven Wright

I can't stop thinking like this.

Steven Wright

I'm standing behind a wall of jokes. You don't know about my personal life, my girlfriends, or what I do when I'm not on the road. There's this guy, this comedian, and this is how he thinks, but people really don't know anything about me.

Steven Wright

Whatever happened to Preparations A through G.

Steven Wright

Why doesn't glue stick to the inside of the bottle.

Steven Wright

Why don't they just make mouse-flavored cat food.

Steven Wright

I plugged my phone in where the blender used to be. I called someone. They went 'Aaaaahhhh...'

Steven Wright

Why do they call it the Department of Interior when they are in charge of everything outdoors.

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. (Steven Wright)

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'

Steven Wright
