195.0. "thanks to Steve Wright" by KUDZU::SESSIONS (Captain Video) Fri May 30 1986 18:09

    
    
    	Thanks to Steve Wright on Johnny Carson Wednesday night.
    
    
    	I went into a general store the other day and they wouldn't
    	let me buy anything specific.
    
    
    
    
    
    	I went fishing once with Salvadore Dali.
    
    
    
    
    
    	He was using a dotted line.
    
    
    
    
    
    	He caught every other fish.

	If you're travelling along at the speed of light in your car
	and you turn on the lights, what happens?




	I have a friend who's a radio dj.  When you're talking to him
	and you walk under a bridge his voice fades out.



	I got a postcard from a friend the other day with a picture of
	the earth on it.  It read, "Wish you were here."



	(And the all time classic...)

	I wouldn't want everything in the world...  Where would I put it?
	And then I'd have to paint it!

    	I have a map of the world.
    
    
    
    	It's actual size.

RE:  the "map of the world" joke


	I heard a continuation, but I don't know if Steve said it
	or not:


		Oh, you DO ?  Can I see it ?  Where do you live ?
	
		E7 !

    Also:
    
          I saw a sign in a diner recently that read, "Breakfast
    Any Time." So I ordered French Toast during the Renaissance!
    
          and...
    
          I have a dog named "Stay." He gets very confused when I
    call him.
    
          and...
    
          What's another word for "thesaurus"?
    
          and...
    
          I got into a speed-reading accident the other day. I hit
    a bookmark.
    
          and...
    
          The other day I put some instant coffee into a microwave
    oven... it went backward in time.
    
          and the classic:
    
          Women.  Can't live with 'em...
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
    
        ....can't shoot 'em!

I bought some "instant water" the other day...



Only problem was, I couldn't figure out what to add to it!

    	I stayed up all night playing poker with Tarot cards.
    
    
    
    	I got a full house and four people died.
195.7Mine. Wright-ish?CLT::MALERThe Color RedFri Jun 13 1986 17:135
My ears were ringing the other day, so I answered them.



But once I picked them up, I didn't know where to put them.

    more...
    
    It's a small world, but I wouldn't want to paint it...
    
    Somebody broke into my apartment last night and replaced everything
    with a perfect duplicate. When I told my room-mate, he asked, "Who
    are you?"
    
    I live with a bunch of crazy people. The man upstairs makes fiberglass
    fur balls for ceramic cats...
    
195.9Steve and I?NACMTW::DALYFri Jul 25 1986 16:5139
    My friend is one of the richest men in the world.  He owns the erasers
    to all of the miniature golf pencils ever made.
    
    Never trust a literal-thinking stockbroker, or at least don't call
    him, or at least don't hang up.
    
    I bought a dehumidifier and a vaporizer the other day; I put them
    in the same room and let them fight it out.
    
    
    My girlfriend says I have an inferiority complex.  She found a free
    association test in a magazine to try on me.  She said "jump," I
    said "How high?"  She said "run,"  I said "how far?"  She said "sex,"
    I said "how much?"
    
    You know that feeling you get when you are tipping your chair back
    and you almost go crashing back on the floor but you just catch
    yourself?  I feel like that all the time.
    
    
    My cousin works for the Cambpell's soup company.  He makes R's.
    
    I once asked Rodney Dangerfield, "What's the most important thing
    to remember when you are tellin--"  "TIMING," he said.

195.10no, not another lightbulb joke!?!DELNI::GOLDSTEINhand me the pliers!Fri Jul 25 1986 21:268
    Please, that last joke in .9 went around on BJOD a few years ago:
    
    How many surrealists does it take to change a light bulb?
    
    Two.  One to hold the giraffe and one to fill the bathtub with brightly
    colored machine tools.
    
    (I'm still laughing, four years later.)
