My roommate got a pet elephant. Then it got lost. It’s in the apartment somewhere.

Curiosity killed the cat, but for a while I was a suspect.

If toast always lands butter-side down, and cats always land on their feet, what happen if you strap toast on the back of a cat and drop it?

I bought a dog the other day… I named him Stay. It’s fun to call him… “Come here, Stay! Come here, Stay!” He went insane. Now he just ignores me and keeps typing. He’s an East German Shepherd.

I put contact lenses in my dog’s eyes. They had little pictures of cats on them. Then I took one out and he ran around in circles.

The other day, I was walking my dog around my building… on the ledge. Some people are afraid of heights. Not me, I’m afraid of widths.

I spilled spot remover on my dog. He’s gone now.

Last year I went fishing with Salvador Dali. He was using a dotted line. He caught every other fish.

There’s a fine line between fishing and standing on the shore looking like an idiot.

Clean those restrooms

On her way home from a long trip, a blonde drove past a sign that said “CLEAN RESTROOMS 8 MILES.”

By the time she drove eight miles, she had cleaned 43 restrooms.

Answering machine message

This is Walter Cronkite. Bren’s not here right now. He’s out on a date. The idea of Bren entertaining a girl with his basketball theories and computer knowledge over dinner at Taco Bell should scare the hell out of you. He’ll probably be home soon, so leave your name and number and he’ll call you back. Deal with it.
