Quotes from Steven Wright - Part 1

Steven Wright is not only funny looking, he's just plain funny! One of my favorite comedians.

My favorite quote:
I planted some bird seed. A bird came up. Now I don't know what to feed it.

Ones I don't understand:
My friend Sam has one leg. I went to his house. I couldn't go up the stairs.

My grandfather gave me a watch. It doesn't have any hands or numbers. He says it's very accurate. I asked him what time it was. You can guess what he told me.

I met this wonderful girl at Macy's. She was buying clothes and I was putting Slinkies on the escalator.

I had my coathangers spayed.
(I get this one now.....my sister explained it to me.)

I love Steven Wright also. "I live on a one way dead end street. When anyone comes to visit, they always have to move in."
