Just a few deep thoughts for 1999 by Steven Wright (comedian)
1. A bus station is where a bus stops. A train station is
where a train stops. At my workplace, my desk is
considered a work station...
2. If Fed Ex and UPS were to merge, would they call
it Fed UP?
3. If quitters never win, and winners never quit, what
fool came up with, "Quit while you're ahead"?
4. Do Lipton employees take coffee breaks?
5. What hair color do they put on the driver's licenses
of bald men?
6. I was thinking that women should put pictures of
missing husbands on beer cans.
7. I was thinking about how people seem to read the
Bible a whole lot more as they get older. Then it
dawned on me - they're cramming for their finals.
8. I thought about how mothers feed their babies with
little tiny spoons and forks. So I wonder what
Chinese mothers use -- Toothpicks?
9. Why do they put pictures of criminals up in the
Post Office? What are we supposed to do . . .
write to these men? Why don't they just put
their pictures on the postage stamps so the mailmen
could look for them while they're delivering the mail?
10. How much deeper would oceans be if sponges
didn't live there?
11. If it's true that we are here to help others, then
what exactly are the OTHERS here for?
12. Clones are people two (II?).
13. If a man says something in the woods and there
are no women around to hear him, is he still wrong?
14. Go ahead and take risks....just be sure that
everything will turn out OK.
15. If you can't be kind, at least have the decency
to be vague.
16. Ever wonder what the speed of lightning
would be if it didn't zigzag?
17. Nostalgia isn't what it used to be.
18. Think "honk" if you're telepathic.
19. If a person with multiple personalities threatens
suicide, is that considered a hostage situation?
20. If a cow laughed, would milk come out her nose?
21. I went for a walk last night and my kids asked
me how long I'd be gone. I responded,
"The whole time."
22. So what's the speed of dark?
23. How come you don't ever hear about gruntled
employees? And who has been dicing them anyhow?
24. After eating, do amphibians need to wait an
hour before getting OUT of the water?
25. Why don't they just make mouse-flavoured
cat food?
26. If you're sending someone some Styrofoam,
what do you pack it in?
27. I just got skylights put in my place. The people
who live above me are furious.
28. Why do they sterilize needles for lethal injections?
29. Is it true that cannibals don't eat clowns
because they taste funny?
30. Isn't Disney World a people trap operated
by a mouse?
31. Whose cruel idea was it for the word "lisp"
o have an "s" in it?
32. Since light travels faster than sound, isn't that
why some people appear bright until you hear
them speak?
33. How come abbreviated is such a long word?
34. If it's zero degrees outside today and it's
supposed to be twice as cold tomorrow,
how cold is it going to be?
35. Since Americans throw rice at weddings,
do Asians throw hamburgers?
36. If olive oil comes from olives, where does
baby oil come from?
