Quotes from Steven Wright
I installed a skylight in my apartment... the people who live above me are furious!
There was a power outage at a department store yesterday. Twenty people were trapped on the escalators.
.
Sponges grow in the ocean. I wonder how much deeper the ocean would be if that didn't happen.
I invented the cordless extension cord.
Cross-country skiing isn't hard to do if you live in a small country.
(Cross-country skiing is very popular in Colorado)
There's a fine line between fishing and just standing on the shore like an idiot.

And an Excerpt From Two Miles High and Six Feet Under
Andrew Coyle is carrying their three year old daughter and walking with his wife Sarah through the snow to their rental cabin after dinner. They had eaten at the town hotel because Sarah had burnt the pot roast dinner.
On the long, cold walk to their little rental house, Coyle and Sarah observed the town at sleep. The temperature made the distance seem longer than usual, but at the same time, they found the night was enchanting. Moonlight danced across the snow, reflecting tiny diamonds in the whiteness. Icicles that nearly reached the ground from cabin eves acted as prisms breaking the moonbeams into a rainbow of colors. The mood swept away memories of the sacrificial burning of the beef earlier in the evening.
