On Friday, Oct. 4 Steve Martin and the Steep Canyon Rangers Featuring Edie Brickell will take the stage at the Les Schwab Amphitheater.
In honor of the iconic comedian, next week’s Source is a tribute to Martin—reviews of his books, dining and exercise suggestions and a salute to his cultural influence.
Post your favorite Steve Martin gag (video links encouraged), and we’ll pick a random winner on Wednesday (when the Steve Martin issue of the Source hits stands) for a pair of tickets to the show!

Boy, those French: They have a different word for everything!
Not so much a joke as quote from the best movie ever! “The Lord loves a workin’ man, don’t trust whitey, see a doctor and get rid of it”- The Jerk

Rigby Reardon (Dead Men Don’t Wear Plaid, 1982). This is a spot-on homage to the film noir of Hollywood’s golden age. What with cross-dressing, making ladies swoon and escaping death, this private dick does it all. Here’s the clip ‘All Dames Are Alike’ – http://youtu.be/_wvl0iwp-_0
Mount up!

The King Tut skit on Saturday Night Live back in the day!!!
You know, a lot of people come to me and they say, “Steve, how can you be so fucking funny?” There’s a secret to it, it’s no big deal. Before I go out, I put a slice of bologna in each of my shoes. So when I’m on stage, I feel funny.

I don’t need one other thing, not one… I need this. – The paddle game and the chair, and the remote control, and the matches for sure. Well what are you looking at? What do you think I’m some kind of a jerk or something! – And this. That’s all I need.

Lucky Day: I don’t know.

“This lawn supervisor was out on a sprinkler maintenance job and he started working on a Findlay sprinkler head with a Langstrom 7″ gangly wrench. Just then, this little apprentice leaned over and said, “You can’t work on a Findlay sprinkler head with a Langstrom 7″ wrench.” Well this infuriated the supervisor, so he went and got Volume 14 of the Kinsley manual, and he reads to him and says, “The Langstrom 7″ wrench can be used with the Findlay sprocket.” Just then, the little apprentice leaned over and said, “It says sprocket not socket!”
