* This list was widely distributed over the Internet in the mid 1990s, with no mention of an author. Some visitors to this page have asserted that most of the items are quotes from the American comedian, Steven Wright. That's possible, but verification of the true authorship of these items has proven rather elusive. Item 6, however, and variations on items 9 and 20, do appear genuine Steven Wright quotes, or at least, are often associated with him. Wikipedia's article on Wright offers his own amusing take on the subject of attribution (if not now, they have in the past). It seems likely the original compiler of this list drew from a variety of comedic sources.
