Mitch Hedberg (1968-2005)

[ed. note. I'll admit, I'd never heard of Mitch Hedberg until today.  Some seriously funny stuff along the lines of Steven Wright]:

"You know they call corn-on-the-cob "corn-on-the-cob" right? But that's how it comes out of the ground, man. They should call that "corn." They should call every other version "corn-off-the-cob." It's not like if you cut off my arm you would call my arm "Mitch." But then reattach it and call it "Mitch-all-together!"

"I bought a doughnut and they gave me a receipt for the doughnut. I don't need a receipt for the doughnut. I'll just give you the money, and you give me the doughnut... end of transaction. We don't need to bring ink and paper into this. I just can't imagine a scenario where I would have to prove that I bought a doughnut. Some skeptical friend: "Don't even act like I didn't get that doughnut! I got the doc-u-men-tation right here... oh, wait it's at home... in the file... under 'D'... for doughnut."

"I used to do drugs. I still do, but I used to, too."

"My friend asked me if I wanted a frozen banana, I said "No, but I want a regular banana later, so ... yeah".

"I'm against picketing, but I don't know how to show it."

"I walked into Target, but I missed. I think the entrance to Target should have people splattered all around. And, when I finally get in, the guy says, "Can I help you?" "Just practicing."
