And now for something complete different...

Google sometimes places funny quotes on top of my email client. Today's quote led me to a whole slew of quotes by stand-up comedian Emo Philips.


  • My computer beat me at checkers, but I sure beat it at kick boxing.

  • How many people here have telekinetic powers? Raise my hand.

  • I was walking down fifth avenue today and I found a wallet, and I was gonna keep it, rather than return it, but I thought: well, if I lost a hundred and fifty dollars, how would I feel? And I realized I would want to be taught a lesson.

  • Some mornings, it's just not worth chewing through the leather straps.



Reminds me a lot of Steven Wright's stand-up routines. Here are a couple of his:

  • Cross country skiing is great if you live in a small country.

  • Ever notice how irons have a setting for permanent press? I don't get it.

  • Everywhere is within walking distance if you have the time.

  • I drive way too fast to worry about cholesterol.

  • I hooked up my accelerator pedal in my car to my brake lights. I hit the gas, people behind me stop, and I'm gone.



Well, they're funny to me anyway...:)
