You can't have everything... where would you put it?


When I was a child we had a quicksand box in the backyard. I was an only child... eventually


I have the world's largest sea shell collection. Maybe you've seen it... I store it on beaches


I just bought some dehydrated water but I don't know what to add


I have a map of the US but it's hard to fold... the scale is 1" = 1"


When you buy a bag of cotton balls are you supposed to throw out the top one?

"One day I accidently tried to open my house's front door with my car ignition key. The house started up, so I took it for a spin. I was driving down the Highway yelling at everyone to get off my driveway"

One night I couldn't sleep so I got up. I went down to the corner store, because I new it was open 24 hours.
When I got there I saw the owner locking up.
I said "What are you doing, I thought this store was open 24 hours."
He looked at me and said, "Not in a row."

The other night when I got home, I noticed the power was out in my house. I couldn't find a flash light, but I did find my camera with an electronic flash. I used it to make a snack. Now I have 36 pictures of me making a sandwich. The neighbors called to tell me they saw lightning in my house.

Last January I was on a ski lift with this guy. He said he was looking forward to going sking because he was away for so long. I asked where did he go. He said he was in prison for 20 years for pushing a perfect stranger off of a ski lift. I said "I remember you."

I once lived in a house that was run on static electricity. If you wanted to turn on a light, you had to take a sweater off real fast.

I have a museum. It contains the missing arms and legs of statues from other museums.

Once I went to a general store. They wouldn't let me buy anything specific.

The other day I... Oh, wait. That wasn't me.

I just drove across the country. I only had one tape, so I kept listening to the same thing over and over. I don't recall what it was.

A cop pulled me over and asked where I lived. I said, "Right here."

Emo Phillips had a similar style. I liked when he said:

"Don't talk to me about women; I know all about women. I learned about women the hard way -- from books."
