At the consultation on Wednesday Simo (the Rural Yoofwurk Meister) was wearing a 'T' Shirt with a Steven Wright quote on, "Anywhere is walking distance ..... if you've got the time!"
I hadn't listened to Steven Wright in years and so I hit Youtube last night to catch up with his surreal sideways observations on life and his odd persona, fab! So operation "Make a Youth worker laugh on Friday" would involve you watching this ... or reading some of his classic lines:
"I put instant coffee in a microwave oven and almost went back in time"
"I wrote a song, but I can't read music so I don't know what it is. Every once in a while I'll be listening to the radio and I say, "I think I might have written that."
"In Vegas, I got into a long argument with the man at the roulette wheel over what I considered to be an odd number"
"All those who believe in psychokinesis raise my hand"
"I have an answering machine in my car. It says, "Sorry I can't answer the phone because I'm home now. But leave a message and I'll call when I'm out."
"Today I... No, that wasn't me"
"You know how it is when you're walking up the stairs, and you get to the top, and you think there's one more step, but there isn't? That's how I feel all the time"
