Humor up our alley

Sorry for hogging all the posts today...

Was looking up some of the real life comedians that are on Dr Katz. Of course we all know who Steven Wright, but he has a section on his website that is so absurd it is hilarious...

Books by Steven Wright that are avaialable no where...

http://www.stevenwright.com/a_word/index.shtml

My favorite is the first one:


Phyllis and Her Eyelids: The story of a man living in a semi-parallel universe who is arrested for inventing hockey.

The Rats and The Scum: History of politicians.

The Slut and The Monkey: The history of marriage.

Skip the Wonder Horse: Set in the late 1600's in Holland. The story of a homosexual race horse that can see into the future.

The Chinese Envelope: Set during the Ming Dynasty. The story of an all-girl school made entirely of mirrors.

Daddy's Under My Bed: The story of a 90 year old still-born butler who's in love with his own shadow.

Freud: The story of an insane old man with way too much influence.

Jesus and Santa Claus: The story of two middleweight boxers in Berlin in the early 1900's.

The Carnival Man: The history of the world if time didn't exist.

Pretty Girls: The story of the end of all civilizations and why evolution is a mistake.

Stanley and the Magic Penny: Hitler's life story if he'd never been born, seen through the eyes of Dorothy Hamill.

The Tall Blue Cloud: The story of a Cajun menu that tries to take over the world.

Go to the link for a short story by him, which I havent read....

I read, The Beach. It was pretty funny. This guy must be the most normal person in the world in real life...
