I remember his joke (which I haven't been able to find) on Salman Rushdie. Rushdie had recently come out of hiding from a Fatwa put on him. Norm mentioned:
Salman Rushdie has recently come out of hiding. He has written a new book: "Buddha, you fat Bastard!"

Why is the men's bathroom always on the left?

I contacted my creditors to inform them that I am now a country and I'm raising my debt limit.

Obviously that false propaganda was perpetuated by a woman. In fact I believe most of the time the men's room is on the right side.

An old friend of mine hadn't been to the doctor in many years. Finally his wife convinced him to get a full workup. He went in for basic tests and went back when they had the results.

The doctor walked in while studying the test results. He looked up and saw my friend. "Mr Johnson?" the doctor inquired. "I'm surprised to see you here! Based on your test results I thought you were dead".

True story.

I've heard of a similar with logicians: " You can't be here, I proved you don't exist."
