I don't recall that one. My fave Hedberg quote is this one:
I was walking down the street with my friend and he said, "I hear music", as if there is any other way you can take it in. You're not special, that's how I receive it too. I tried to taste it but it did not work
Close second:
I order a club sandwich all the time. And I'm not even a member, I don't know how I get away with it. "I like my sandwiches with three pieces of bread." "So do I." "Lets form a club then." "Okay, but we're gonna need more stipulations." "Yes we do." "OK... Instead of cutting it once, lets cut it again." "Yeah, four triangles." "And we will position them in a circle. And in the middle we will dump chips. Or potato salad." "Let me ask you a question, how do you feel about frilly toothpicks?" "I'm for 'em!" "Well, this club is formed. Spread the news on menus nationwide."
Insert clever, witty and amusing signature here.

That's a good one. I like his escalator joke too.
"I like an escalator, because an escalator can never break. It can only become stairs. You'll never see an 'Escalator Out of Order' sign, only 'Escalator Temporarily Stairs. Sorry for the convenience.'"

as do you my swiss miss
you still make it worthwhile to stop in here
thanks
I realise that I have a past to break with--an accumulation of inertia, wrong, foolishness, rot, junk. A great need of clarification, of mindfulness, or rather, of no mind. A need to return to genuine practice, right effort. Need to push on the great doubt. Need for the spirit. Hang on to the clear light.

thanks may this become more an habits.
To make some utterly elongated and complicated metaphor who goes nowhere.
"it's not like that I don't know how to play tennis with normal balls, it's just that I find extremely boring and more than once I've seen sparing partners being caught in surprise with their arm falling almost off because I am using some rubber monkey or an old pair of shoes filled with acorns as my 'munitions'".
