Mitch Hedberg Quotes

A few quotes from my brother’s favorite comedian.

– I want to hang a map of the world in my house then I’m gonna put pins into all the locations that I’ve traveled to. But first I’m gonna have to travel to the top two corners of the map so it won’t fall down.

– I got a king sized bed. I don’t know any kings, but if one came over, I guess he’d be comfortable. “Oh, you’re a king, you say? Well you won’t believe what I have in store for you! It’s to your exact specifications! I believe I can set up your lady friend, too!”

– I like rice. Rice is great when you’re hungry and you want 2,000 of something.

– An escalator can never break: it can only become stairs. You should never see an Escalator Temporarily Out Of Order sign, just Escalator Temporarily Stairs. Sorry for the convenience.

– I saw this wino, he was eating grapes. I was like, “Dude, you have to wait.”

– Alcoholism is a disease, but it’s the only one you can get yelled at for having. “Goddamn it Otto, you are an alcoholic. Goddamn it Otto, you have Lupis”…one of those two doesn’t sound right.

Overheard. Your Kid’s A Bad Athlete

So this blog, the Burbs is pretty funny. There’s a section titled “Overheard in the Burbs” that’s cracking me up tonight. I’ll post a couple, but go check out the rest of them.

Guy 1: You ever think about Joey playing professionally?
Guy 2: Playing what professionally?
Guy 1: Baseball.
Guy 2: (looks across field at rec game) Joey? He’s like the most uncoordinated kid on the team.
Guy 1: (pauses) I’m thinking about that for Jed.
Guy 2: Dave, Jed is the 1 kid less coordinated than Joey.
Guy 1: Maybe in Europe.
Guy 2: They don’t play baseball in Europe. Cuba, Dominican. Have you considered Special Olympics?

Guy 1: If you had 1 wish what would it be?
Woman 1: That you’d stop asking me stupid questions. What is wrong with you?

Guy 1: (on cell phone) There’s 4 kinds of beef. No, five.
Guy 1: (fiddles with packages in meat section) Yea, it’s not marked. Premium, something, I can’t read it. I’m tellling you it’s…
Guy 1: (after interruption) I’m not an idiot. What? (shuffles more meat packages)
Guy 1: I’m telling you, it’s not here. (looks more)
Guy 1: Wait. Hold it. (pauses) Sh*t. This is pork, I’m in the pork section.
Guy 1: (after interruption) OK, fine, I am an idiot.
