Remember him from waaaay-back. Dude is funny as they come. His deadpan delivery was outstanding. And a clean act, too.

One if my favorite Wright jokes:

I am a peripheral visionary. I can see into the future, but only off to the sides.

Steven Wright should do Fridays for Sarah Huckabee and give her long weekends to bake authentic well documented pies.

Let the press corps chew on Steven Wright a while.

Erwin Corey...

More often referred to as "Professor Irwin Corey". I remember him from the 1960s and 1970s ...

I bought some powdered water once, but I didn’t know what to add.

Once I bought a pack of AA batteries, but they weren’t included, so I had to buy them again.

HILARIOUS BELLY BUSTER:

My favorite Steven Wright line:

“I stayed up all night playing poker with tarot cards. I got a full house and four people died.”

I think a lot of those aren’t his originals but most are.

My favorite is “Anywhere is walking distance. If you have the time.”

I accidentally put my car keys in the front door of my house. It started up. So I drove it around for a little while. Guy pulls up next to me. I look at him and say, “hey buddy, get out of my driveway!”
