I remember first seeing Mitch Hedberg on Comedy Showcase one night while my best friend was staying over. Mitch was quite the sight, with his long hair, glasses, & a very loud Hawaiian shirt, a guy on an upright bass behind him giving the whole act the feel of a jazz act or a beat poetry recital. Mitch had one joke that had my friend & I both howling with laughter, and picking up our jaws off the floor, wondering just who the hell this guy was:
"This shirt is dry-clean only, which means it's dirty!"
He somehow managed to make it even funnier the second time he told it, just about 30 seconds later.
Even now, I often find myself quoting his bit about escalators:
"Escalators should never have a 'Temporarily Out of Order' sign on them. It should say, 'Escalators Temporarily Stairs. We Apologize For the Convenience'!"
"So they want to kill my men? Well two can play at that game."
