light" question appears all over the place with slightly variant wordings,
including a bumper sticker sold at science fiction conventions (without
author) and many lists of humorous taglines, such as "Things People Wonder
About" on Cyber Quotations:http://www.cyberquotations.com/humorous.htm
If something is a direct quotation from a known author, I won't use it
without attribution, and so, on the chance that this may be a Steven Wright
line, I won't use it again, unless someone can come up with a definite source
I could credit. Using publicly available taglines probably isn't the
greatest idea -- we don't know where they've been. Sorry.Lelia

younger. I'd say, 'Come here, Stay. Come here, Stay.' Now that he's older
it just ignores me a keeps on typing. I have the oldest typewriter in the
world. It types in pencil."

Subject: Re: [CB] Just for the recordI love Steven Wright. I saw him at Northwestern University. I was in the
very front row, the dead center seat.I have remembered a lot of his stuff. I also like, "It's a small world, but
I wouldn't want to paint it."I could go on reciting those for a very long time.

Subject: Re: [CB] slap tounginghi jean!
(i hope no one minds me writing in lower case!)
i've had some trouble getting the money together for you, and getting fired
last month hasn't helped the situation.
let's just say, yeah i still really need them and your deal is better than
any i could dream of here in oz. so i've still got all your details
so if i can get the money order to you i'll do it but if you've got any
other interested 'clientele' (mabye closer to home?) then dont hold out for
me. thank you for your patience jean!
and thanks for the slap tounging advice Jay! i think i'm getting it!
kindest regards,
rich.---------------------------------------------------------

Subject: [CB] migoti was looking for some contrabass clarinet solos and i came across Migot's
Prelude (advertised on the back of clarinet works as a purely c/bass
clarinet work) unfortunately written also for contrabasson or string bass.
well you'd think they'd include a Bb part at least written in treble
clef....but no, concert pitch bass and tenor clef. not going to stop me
though...the piano part's a killer! anyone got/know of any GOOD Bb
contrabass clarinet solo's out there? unacc/acc?
kindest regards,
rich.
