Moving Sucks

After spending the previous month packing and moving my stuff, my sole link to sanity was comedy. Nobody is better at making one realise how silly life is than Stephen Wright...

In that vein, and since I need comedy more than I need another GW, JK, or MMO rant, I present you random Stephen Wright quotes, which make as much sense as moving does:

  • What's another word for "thesaurus"?
  • When I get real bored, I like to drive downtown and get a great parking spot, then sit in my car and count how many people ask if I'm leaving.
  • When I was a kid, we had a quicksand box in the backyard. I was an only child . . . eventually.
  • I bought some batteries, but they weren't included. So I had to buy them again.
  • For my birthday I got a humidifier and a dehumidifier. I put them in the same room and let them fight it out.
  • I bought a house on a one-way dead-end road. I don't know how I got there.
  • I have a hobby. I have the world's largest collection of sea shells. I keep it scattered on beaches all over the world. Maybe you've seen some of it.
  • My school colors were clear.
  • I stayed in a really old hotel last night. They sent me a wakeup letter.
  • I'm taking La maze classes. I'm not having a baby, I'm just having trouble breathing.
  • When I was in high school, I got in trouble with my girlfriend's Dad. He said, "I want my daughter back by 8:15." I said, "The middle of August? Cool!"
  • My girlfriend's weird. One day she asked me, "If you could know how and when you were going to die, would you want to know?" I said, "No." She said, "Okay, forget it."
  • I went for a walk last night and she asked me how long I was going to be gone. I said, "The whole time."
  • My buddy got busted for counterfeiting. He was making pennies. They caught him because he was putting the heads and tails on the wrong sides.
  • He's in a minimum security prison now; he's on a whiffle-ball and chain.
  • Hermits have no peer pressure.
  • Whenever I think of the past, it brings back so many memories .
  • There's a fine line between fishing and just standing on the shore like an idiot.
  • How much deeper would the ocean be if sponges didn't live there?
  • Did Washington just flash a quarter for his ID?
  • I just got skylights put in my place. The people who live above me are furious.
  • Imagine if birds were tickled by feathers.
  • I got stopped by a cop the other day. He said, "Why'd you run that stop sign?" I said, "Because I don't believe everything I read."
  • It doesn't matter what temperature a room is, it's always room temperature.
  • Yesterday, my eyeglass prescription ran out.
  • I'm a peripheral visionary.
  • I make my own water - two glasses of H, one glass of O.
  • Ballerinas are always on their toes. Why don't they just get taller ballerinas?
  • The other day, I went to a tourist information booth and asked, "Tell me about some of the people who were here last year."
  • Why in a country of free speech, are there phone bills?
