funny humor thinking
I think God's going to come down and pull civilization over for speeding.
thinking laughing people
I feel lucky that I can have people laugh solidly for a whole hour by just saying what I think and getting paid for it.
thinking race wake-up
It seems like we wake up and it's a race until you get to bed. It gets to you after a while and you think, 'What the hell am I doing?'
baby thinking needs
I need one of those baby monitors from my subconscious to my consciousness so I can know what the hell I'm really thinking about.
thinking eight get-up
I don't get up, get dressed, go out, and think, 'Okay, I gotta find eight jokes.'
girlfriend wall thinking
I'm standing behind a wall of jokes. You don't know about my personal life, my girlfriends, or what I do when I'm not on the road. There's this guy, this comedian, and this is how he thinks, but people really don't know anything about me.
thinking trying-something-new creating
People may think I'm trying something new by telling stories, but they're just jokes connected to give the illusion of stories. But really, I just continue using my imagination and creating. That's what I do.
thinking comedian stuff
Comedians are sociologists. We're pointing out stuff that the general public doesn't even stop to think about, looking at life in slow-motion and questioning everything we see.
teaching thinking mirrors
I don't feel that I'm explaining the world or teaching people anything. And I'm not trying to be a mirror, showing them what's really going on the world. All I'm trying to do is think of stuff that's funny, just like when I'm kidding around with my friends.
thinking old-testament should
You know, the New Testament is pretty old. I think they should call them the Old Testament and the Most Recent Testament.
thinking i-can
I can't stop thinking like this.
funny humor thinking
You know how it is when you go to be the subject of a psychology experiment and nobody else shows up and you think maybe that's part of the experiment? I'm like that all the time.
funny humor thinking
People think my friend George is weird because he wears sideburns...behind his ears. I think he's weird because he wears false teeth...with braces on them.
moving night thinking
I went to this restaurant last night that was set up like a big buffet in the shape of an Ouija board. You'd think about what kind of food you want, and the table would move across the floor to it.
