NEW STEVEN WRIGHT JOKES

1. After they make styrofoam, what do they ship it in?
2. All of the people in my building are insane. The guy above me designs
3. synthetic hairballs for ceramic cats. The lady across the hall tried to rob
4. a department store...with a pricing gun...She said, "Give me all of the
5. money in the vault, or I'm marking down everything in the store."
6. When I get real, real bored, I like to drive downtown and get a great
7. parking spot, then sit in my car and count how many people ask me if I'm
8. leaving.


9. Cross country skiing is great if you live in a small country.
10. If you were going to shoot a mime, would you use a silencer?
11. A cop stopped me for speeding. He said, "Why were you going so fast?" I
12. said, "See this thing my foot is on? It's called an accelerator. When you
13. push down on it, it sends more gas to the engine. The whole car just takes
14. right off. And see this thing? This steers it."
15. Doing a little work around the house. I put fake brick wallpaper over a real
16. brick wall, just so I'd be the only one who knew. People come over and I'm
17. gonna say, "Go ahead, touch it...it feels real."
18. Every so often, I like to go to the window, look up, and smile for a
19. satellite picture.
20. A friend of mine once sent me a post card with a picture of the entire
21. planet Earth taken from space. On the back it said, "Wish you were here."
22. I bought a dog the other day...I named him Stay. It's fun to call
23. him..."Come here, Stay! Come here, Stay!" He went insane. Now he just
24. ignores me and keeps typing.
25. I bought a house, on a one-way dead-end road; I don't know how I got there.
26. I bought my brother some gift-wrap for Christmas. I took it to the Gift Wrap
27. department and told them to wrap it, but in a different print so he would
28. know when to stop unwrapping.
29. I bought some powdered water, but I don't know what to add to it.

36. funeral in one car.
37. I had some eyeglasses. I was walking down the street when suddenly the
38. prescription ran out.
39. I have an answering machine in my car. It says, "I'm home now. But leave a
40. message and I'll call when I'm out."
41. I have two very rare photographs. One is a picture of Houdini locking his
42. keys in his car. The other is a rare photograph of Norman Rockwell beating
43. up a child.
44. I like to go to art museums and name the untitled paintings...Boy With
45. Pail...Kitten On Fire.
46. I like to reminisce with people I don't know.
47. I like to fill my tub up with water, then turn the shower on and act like
48. I'm in a submarine that's been hit.
49. In my house there's this light switch that doesn't do anything. Every so
50. often I would flick it on and off just to check. Yesterday, I got a call
51. from a woman in Germany. She said, "Cut it out."
52. In Vegas, I got into a long argument with the man at the roulette wheel over
53. what I considered to be an odd number.
54. I put contact lenses in my dog's eyes. They had little pictures of cats on
55. them. Then I took one out and he ran around in circles.
56. I put hardwood floors on top of wall-to-wall carpet.
57. I put instant coffee in a microwave oven and almost went back in time.
58. I put my air conditioner in backwards. It got cold outside. The weatherman
59. on TV was confused. "It was supposed to be hot today."
60. I replaced the headlights in my car with strobe lights. Now it looks like
61. I'm the only one moving.
62. I saw a bank that said "24 Hour Banking", but I don't have that much time.
63. I saw a close friend of mine the other day...He said, "Stephen, why haven't
64. you called me?" I said, "I can't call everyone I want. My new phone has no
65. five on it." He said, "How long have you had it?" I said, "I don't know...my
66. calendar has no sevens on it."
67. I saw a sign: "Rest Area 25 Miles". That's pretty big. Some people must be
68. really tired.
69. I saw a sign at a gas station. It said "help wanted". There was another sign
70. below it that said "self service". So I hired myself. Then I made myself the
71. boss. I gave myself a raise. I paid myself. Then I quit.
72. I saw a subliminal advertising executive, but only for a second.
73. I saw a tree fall in the woods, and I didn't hear it.
74. I spilled spot remover on my dog. He's gone now.

78. temperature.

83. anywhere near the place.

86. I was going 70 miles an hour and got stopped by a cop who said, "Do you know
87. the speed limit is 55 miles per hour?" "Yes, officer, but I wasn't going to
88. be out that long..."
89. I was in a job interview and I opened a book and started reading. Then I
90. said to the guy, "Let me ask you a question. If you are in a spaceship that
91. is traveling at the speed of light, and you turn on the headlights, does
92. anything happen?" He said, "I don't know." I said, "I don't want your job."
93. I went down the street to the 24-hour grocery. When I got there, the guy was
94. locking the front door. I said, "Hey, the sign says you're open 24 hours."
95. He said, "Yes, but not in a row."
96. I went into this bar and sat down next to a pretty girl. She looked at me
97. and said, "Hey, you have two different colored socks on." I said, "Yeah, I
98. know, but to me they're the same because I go by thickness."
99. I went to a general store, but they wouldn't let me buy anything specific.

104. I woke up one morning and looked around the room. Something wasn't right. I
105. realized that someone had broken in the night before and replaced everything
106. in my apartment with an exact replica. I couldn't believe it...I got my
107. roommate and showed him. I said, "Look at this--everything's been replaced
108. with an exact replica!" He said, "Do I know you?"
109. I worked in a health food store once. A guy came in and asked me, "If I melt
110. dry ice, can I take a bath without getting wet?"
111. Last night I fell asleep in a satellite dish. My dreams were broadcast all
112. over the world.
113. Last year I went fishing with Salvador Dali. He was using a dotted line. He
114. caught every other fish.
115. My dental hygienist is cute. Every time I visit, I eat a whole package of
116. Oreo cookies while waiting in the lobby. Sometimes she has to cancel the
117. rest of the afternoon's appointments.
118. My girlfriend and I went on a picnic. I don't know how she did it, but she
119. got poison ivy on the brain. When it itched, the only way she could scratch
120. it was to think about sandpaper.
121. My girlfriend does her nails with white-out. When she's asleep, I go over
122. there and write misspelled words on them.

132. in front of a candle making shadows of people on a tree.
133. The other day, I was walking my dog around my building...on the ledge. Some

136. Well, you know when you're rocking in a rocking chair, and you go so far

138. yourself? That's how I feel all the time.
139. What's another word for Thesaurus?
140. When I was a little kid we had a sand box. It was a quicksand box. I was an
141. only child...eventually.
142. When I was eight, I played Little League. I was on first; I stole third; I
143. went straight across. Earlier that week, I learned that the shortest
144. distance between two points was a straight line. I took advantage of that
145. knowledge.
146. When I was little, my grandfather used to make me stand in a closet for five
147. minutes without moving. He said it was elevator practice.
148. Why is the alphabet in that order? Is it because of that song?
149. Winny and I lived in a house that ran on static electricity. If you wanted
