Friday Joke Exchange

It’s just been a Steven Wright week.

Mark Rahner, Seattle Times interviews Steve Wright:

“Q: Do you work hard to craft a joke about, say, sh**ting a mime with a silencer?

A: I just hang out. I just go around and do stuff, and something’ll hit me. I write some stuff down. I don’t know what I do. I just look around and walk around aimlessly.

They just come into my mind and I just write them down. I can’t write them on purpose. I don’t think, “All right, today I’m going to write some jokes.”
…The politics thing is that I don’t like talking about stuff that’s incredibly giant information that’s been in the media, blasted. That’s not what interests me comedywise. I’d rather talk about lint or hinges or the Bic pen tops … Plus I don’t even like politicians, anyway. I despise all of them. They’re just evil liars. They’re just like used-car salesmen with better suits.”

I used to have an open mind but my brains kept falling out.

If at first you don’t succeed, destroy all evidence that you tried.

If at first you don’t succeed, then skydiving definitely isn’t for you.

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

For every action, there is an equal and opposite criticism.

I planted some bird seed. A bird came up. Now I don’t know what to feed it.

Yesterday I told a chicken to cross the road. It said, “what for?”

I went to the bank and asked to borrow a cup of money. They said, “What for?”
I said, “I’m going to buy some sugar.”

I went to a restaurant that serves “breakfast at any time." So I ordered
French Toast during the Renaissance.

I spilled spot remover on my dog. Now he’s gone.

I used to work in a fire hydrant factory.
You couldn’t park anywhere near the place.

What jokes do you know?

On the other hand...

you have different fingers.

Don't try this at home!

the secret of antigravity

BTW I loved this from the end of the Wright interview:

Q: By the way, was there anything you wanted to talk about?

A: I would just like to say that I think the universe is underrated. I think the galaxy - people don't pay attention enough to the galaxy and the rest of the universe. Humans are obsessed with the Earth. And I think that's narrow-minded. Are you taping this?

Q: Absolutely

A: Yeah, yeah, because I want that exact wording to be correct.

Emo Philips...

A Mormon told me that they don't drink coffee. I said, "A cup of coffee every day gives you wonderful benefits." He said, "Like what?" I said, "Well, it keeps you from being Mormon ..."

Funny, a little night!

(People sometimes think when I write Ha ha ha ha I'm kidding.)

When I die, I'm leaving my body to science--fiction.

(--S.W.)

Emo, vast--

I can't believe Emo Phillips wrote that other joke at the link--the best religious joke ever?!!

My girlfriend asked me how long I was going to be gone on this tour. I said, "the whole time."
--S.W

The other day somebody stole everything in my apartment

The other day somebody stole everything in my apartment and replaced it with an exact replica... When my roommate came home I said, "Roommate, someone stole everything in our apartment and replaced it with an exact replica." He looked at me and said, "Do I know you?"

--S.W.

After they make styrofoam, what do they ship it in?

Thanks for the jokes and joke research, Vast and A little night (what are you called for short?)

For short

I was dubbed ALNM (or alnm) and it kind of stuck...

He asked me if I knew what time it was.

I said, "Yes, but not right now."

Curiosity killed the cat...but for a while I was a suspect.

--S.W.

I can picture in my mind a world without war

I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate. And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it.

I've been doing a lot of abstract painting lately, extremely abstract. No brush, no paint, no canvas, I just think about it.

--S.W.

The lady across the hall tried to rob a department store...

The lady across the hall tried to rob a department store... With a pricing gun... She said, "Give me all of the money in the vault, or I'm marking down everything in the store."

You Never Know What You Have Until It's Gone

I wanted to know what I had, so I got rid of everything.

--S.W.

One time I went to a

One time I went to a drive-in in a taxi cab. The movie cost me $95.

Last time I went to the movies I was thrown out for bringing my own food. My argument was that the concession stand prices are outrageous. Besides, I haven't had a Bar-B-Que in a long time.

--S.W.

I have a map of the United States

I have a map of the United States... Actual size. It says, "Scale: 1 mile = 1 mile." I spent last summer folding it. I also have a full-size map of the world. I hardly ever unroll it. People ask me where I live, and I say, "E6".

Every so often, I like to stick my head out the window, look up, and smile for a satellite picture.

Sometimes I... No, I don't.

--S.W.

If you're looking for comedy, Steve Wright

has hilarious albums...just saying because looking at all these jokes--he's so funny and quite the original...which no doubt he would say something hilarious about...

Today I... No, that wasn't me.

I used to be a narrator for bad mimes.--S.W.

I lost my job

I didn't really lose it, I know where it is.

But when I go there, somebody else is doing it.

I put tape on the mirrors in my house so I don't accidentally walk through into another dimension--S.W.

Last week the candle factory burned down.

Last week the candle factory burned down. Everyone just stood around and sang Happy Birthday.

Good one, myiq.

Why is the alphabet in that order?

Why is the alphabet in that order? Is it because of that song? The guy who wrote that song wrote everything.

--S.W.

I like to ice skate

on the other side of the ice.

I plan to live forever - so far, so good.

(S.W.)

I went down to the store

I went down to the store and bought some blank cassette tapes. When I got home I put one in my cassette deck and turned it up full blast. I was walking around my house when I heard a knock on my door. It was my neighbor complaining about the noise... He's a mime.

--S.W.

Have you heard Wright deliver that line, Badger?

It's so funny, he just goes "so far...so good" with his voice getting deeper.

His delivery is so good. Everyone's seen him yes? Or do we need a few links?

I have the world’s

I have the world's largest collection of seashells. I keep it on all the beaches of the world... Perhaps you've seen it.

I invented the cordless extension cord.

--S.W.

Some people are scared of heights

But I'm scared of widths....

[ ] Very tepidly voting for Obama [ ] ?????. [ ] Any mullah-sucking billionaire-teabagging torture-loving pus-encrusted spawn of Cthulhu, bless his (R) heart.

I've seen him do the "live forever" joke

It's even funnier now because I have a condition which could actually kill me at any instant (although at the moment, the probability is very small, but finite and increasing).

So far, so good :)

Ahhh Badger

Hey be as well as possible okay?

I saw a sign at a gas station. It said "Help Wanted." There was another sign below it that said "Self Service." So I hired myself. Then I made myself the boss. I gave myself a raise. I paid myself. Then I quit.

I used to be a waiter, but I was fired for clearing tables. I was clearing them for take off. I had them all lined up outside. People thought it was an outdoor cafe. I said, "No, these are leaving at 3." They were going to fire me anyway, because I told them I thought they should put the wrapper on the inside of the straw since that's the part you don't want to get dirty.

--S.W.

My grandfather invented

My grandfather invented Cliff Notes. It all started back in 1912... Well, to make a long story short...

I saw a subliminal advertising executive, but only for a second.

--S.W.

If you're not part of the solution

If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.

You know when you're rocking in a rocking chair, and you go so far that you almost fall over backwards, but at the last instant you catch yourself? That's how I feel all the time.

Right now I'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time. I think I've forgotten this before.

--S.W.

Everywhere is walking

Everywhere is walking distance if you have the time.

I was born by Caesarean section, but you really can't tell... except that when I leave my house, I always go out the window.

--S.W.

The other day I called Information

because I couldn't find my socks.

They told me to look behind the couch.

They were right.
