- Here are highlights from Comedy Celebration Day on July 31, 1988 in

- Comedy Celebration Day is Sunday, July 30th (1989!).
-
- These are some of the comedians more memorable quotes during the day:
-
- Michael McShane
- ---------------
- I owe the government $3400 in taxes. So I sent
- them two hammers and a toilet seat.
-
- I'm a Psychic Amnesiac. I know in advance what I'll forget.
-
-

- that's how dogs spend their lives.

- I went to a Grateful Dead Concert and they played for SEVEN hours.

- A lady came up to me on the street and pointed to my suede jacket.
- "You know a cow was murdered for that jacket?" she sneered. I replied
- in a psychotic tone, "I didn't know there were any witnesses. Now I'll
- have to kill you too."
-
- Buzz Belmondo
- -------------

- Lank: We've done it. Earl has set a new record. Turned down by
- 20,000 women.

- globes. They freak out and yell "Whooa, I'm way too high."
-
- Mark Pitta
- ----------
- I like to sing to the songs on the radio in my car. When you go into
- a tunnel, it's hard to come out on the right note. Actually, the news is
- more difficult.
-
- I like to go to concerts that are related, like Talking Heads with
- Simple Minds. I also rent videos together too. Last week I rented
- "Bambi" and "The Deerhunter."

- have to sit at the card table.
-
- Last Halloween was bad for me. I got real beat up. I went to a
- party dressed as a Pinata.
-
- Remember folks. Street lights timed for 35 mph are also timed for
- 70 mph.
-
- Al Clethen
- ----------
- In Los Angeles, McDonalds quickly reacted to the highway shootings.
- They came out with 'Happy To Be Alive Meals.' LA is a real strange
- place. Even the Chinese Drivers honk me for driving too slow.
-
- Kevin Rooney
- ------------
- I have one of those real old American built cars. The kind that
- just PUNCHES through accidents.
-
- John ?????
- ----------
- You just know when a relationship is about to end. My girlfriend
- called me at work and asked me how you change a lightbulb in the
- bathroom. "It's very simple," I said. "You start by filling up the
- bathtub with water..."
-
- Michael Prichard
- ----------------

- a woman got pregnant, someone left town.
-
- Authors Unknown, but still funny
- -------------------------------
- There are a lot of drunk people about to drive home, so drive as fast
- as you can. It's harder for drunk people to hit you.
-
- Oprah Winfrey has an incredible talent for getting the wierdest
- people to talk to. And you just HAVE to watch it. "Blind, masochistic
- minority, crippled, depressed, government latrine diggers, and the
- women who love them too much on the next Oprah Winfrey."
-
- You're a great crowd. No, you're not a crowd, you're a mob.
