Are there specially reserved parking spaces for
"normal" people at the Special Olympics?
What level of importance must a person have, before
they are considered assassinated instead of just

If someone with a split personality threatens to
commit suicide, is it a hostage situation
Why do people say sleep like a baby

If Mr. is an abbreviation because of the M and R where did Mrs. come from? Does it show a possession belonging to Mr.? Wouldn't it be more suited to Mistress as it does have an R in it?

My fave Steve Wright related thing was that cheery jingle he used to use in tha afternoons on R1.
I think you're confusing Steve Wright (the annoying whiney-voiced British DJ) with Steven Wright (the American stand-up comic to whom the quotes below are attributed).

Quite likely, given that I've never heard of the other Steve Wright - and haven't listened to the one that I have heard of for about 15 years. I'll get me coat then.
You'd probably recognise Steven Wright's voice, he does lots of voice overs in tv shows and films, the first one I could think of is in Reservoir Dogs, where he does the "K-Billy's Super Sounds of the '70s" jingles.
