MITCH HEDBERGI haven’t slept for ten days, because that would be too long.
MITCH HEDBERGWhen I was a boy, I laid in my twin-sized bed and wondered where my brother was.
MITCH HEDBERGPepperidge Farm bread. That’s fancy bread. You can tell it’s fancy because it’s wrapped twice. You open it, and it still isn’t open. That’s why I don’t buy it. I don’t need another step between me and toast.

MITCH HEDBERGI would imagine that if you could understand Morse code, a tap dancer would drive you crazy.
MITCH HEDBERGAn 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.
MITCH HEDBERGI like Kit-Kat, unless I’m with four or more people.
MITCH HEDBERGI want to get a job naming kitchen appliances. That seems easy; refrigerator, toaster, blender. You just say what the thing does and add “er”.
