Wasn't Steven Wright also the mountie in the only good Michael Moore film ever made, "Canadian Bacon"?

Sorry, you're way off on this one.  Have you actually sat through it?

Yes, I have, and I actually enjoyed "Canadian Bacon".

 

See what a wonderful country we live in? We can both be Bills fans, yet still have wildly differing opinions on films.

Haven't seen Steven Wright in years. Is he still doing any appearances, TV, etc.?

Here's a couple more....

 

I went to the store to buy batteries, but they weren't included....so I had to buy them again.

 

I got those deer whistles you put on your car that are supposed to keep deer from running into the road you're driving on. I put them on backwards....now the deer keep chasing me.
