    I seem to recall most of those from before I heard of Steven Wright.

    Still funny, though.

    Yep, Mitch Hedberg was freaking great. To bad he killed himself about 2 years ago.

    His bit on Smoky the bear is one of my all time favorites. It probably is on youtube.

    5. We never really grow up, we only learn how to act in public.

    14. Women will never be equal to men until they can walk down the street with a
