1. Right now I'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time. I think I've
forgotten this before.
2. Lots of comedians have people they try to mimic. I mimic my shadow.
3. I was once walking through the forest alone. A tree fell right in front of me
and I didn't hear it.
4. He asked me if I knew what time it was. I said, "Yes, but not right now."
5. I put tape on the mirrors in my house so I don't accidentally walk through into
another dimension.
6. I've been doing a lot of abstract painting lately, extremely abstract. No
brush, no paint, no canvas, I just think about it.

10. I'm so hyper... (Said with a very dull voice.)
11. If you can't hear me, it's because I'm in parentheses.

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

a satellite picture.
16. I'm moving to Mars next week, so if you have any boxes...
17. Sorry, my mind was wandering. One time my mind went all the way to Venus on
mail order and I couldn't pay for it.
18. 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".
19. It's a small world, but I wouldn't want to have to paint it.
20. Cross country skiing is great if you live in a small country.
21. Everywhere is walking distance if you have the time.

23. I have the world's largest collection of seashells. I keep it on all the
beaches of the world... Perhaps you've seen it.
24. It's a good thing we have gravity, or else when birds died they'd just stay
right up there. Hunters would be all confused.
25. When I die, I'm leaving my body to science fiction.
26. I went to the bank and asked to borrow a cup of money. They said, "What for?"

that are in all the other museums.
29. I like to go to art museums and name the untitled paintings... Boy With
Pail... Kitten On Fire.
30. One time I went to a museum where all the work in the museum had been done by
children. They had all the paintings up on refrigerators.
31. 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.
32. One time I went to a drive-in in a taxi cab. The movie cost me $95.
33. I went to the cinema, and the prices were: Adults $5.00, children $2.50. So I
said, "Give me two boys and a girl."
34. I went to a restaurant that serves "breakfast at any time." So I ordered
French Toast during the Renaissance.
35. I went to this restaurant last night that was set up like a big buffet in the
shape of an Ouija board. You'd think about what kind of food you want, and the
table would move across the floor to it.
36. There's a pizza place near where I live that sells only slices. In the back you
can see a guy tossing a triangle in the air.

38. Years ago, I worked in a natural, organic health food store in Seattle,
Washington. One day a man walked in and asked, "If I can melt dry ice, can I
swim without getting wet?" Two days later I was fired for eating cotton candy
and drinking straight Bosco on the job.
39. I went to a 7-11 and asked for a 2x4 and a box of 3x5's. The clerk said,
"ten-four."
40. I was in the grocery store. I saw a sign that said "pet supplies." So I did.
Then I went outside and saw a sign that said "compact cars"...
41. I went down the street to the 24-hour grocery. When I got there, the guy was
locking the front door. I said, "Hey, the sign says you're open 24 hours." He
said, "Yes, but not in a row."
42. I love to go shopping. I love to freak out salespeople. They ask me if they
can help me, and I say, "Have you got anything I'd like?" Then they ask me
what size I need, and I say, "Extra medium."
43. I went to the hardware store and bought some used paint. It was in the shape
of a house. I also bought some batteries, but they weren't included. So I had
to buy them again.
44. I went into a clothes store the other day and a salesman walked up to me and
said, "Can I help you?" And I said "Yeah, do you got anything I like?" He
said, "What do you mean do we have anything you like?" I said, "You started
this."
45. I saw a small bottle of cologne and asked if it was for sale. She said, "It's
free with purchase." I asked her if anyone bought anything today.
46. There was a power outage at a department store yesterday. Twenty people were
trapped on the escalators.
47. I bought my brother some gift-wrap for Christmas. I took it to the Gift Wrap
Department and told them to wrap it, but in a different print so he would know
when to stop unwrapping.
48. Friday, I was in a bookstore and I started talking to a French looking girl.
She was a bilingual illiterate -- she couldn't read in two different languages.
49. For my birthday I got a humidifier and a dehumidifier... I put them in the
same room and let them fight it out. Then I filled my humidifier with wax,
and now my room is all shiny.
50. Ever notice how irons have a setting for *permanent* press? I don't get it...
51. I have a microwave fireplace in my house... The other night I laid down in
front of the fire for the evening in two minutes.
52. My VCR flashes 01:35, 01:35, 01:35, ...
53. I have the oldest typewriter in the world. It types in pencil.
54. I couldn't find the remote control to the remote control.
55. I invented the cordless extension cord.
56. Under my bed I have shoe box full of telephone rings. Whenever I get lonely I
open it up just a bit and I get a call. One time I dropped the box all over
the floor and the phone wouldn't stop ringing, so I had it disconnected. I
bought a new phone though. I didn't have much money so I had to buy an
irregular phone -- it had no number 5 on it.
57. I saw a close friend of mine the other day... He said, "Steven, why haven't
you called me?" I said, "I can't call everyone I want. My new phone has no
five on it." He said, "How long have you had it?" I said, "I don't know...
My calendar has no sevens on it."
