Mitch Hedberg Was Twitter, Before Twitter Was Twitter

We all love Mitch Hedberg for his hilarious one liners and if you aren’t familiar with his work, go listen right now. I’ll wait for you. You’re back? Great! The COLD HARD FACT is that our favorite stoner often delivered one liners, with punch-lines that sometimes left us laughing and confused, in under 140 characters, much like the funniest people on Twitter. Are there still skeptics out there? Well then, let’s take a look at some of his jokes that might be on the site today and their character count:
