description: "Jack Handey is an American humorist. He is best known for his \"Deep Thoughts by Jack Handey\", a large body of surrealistic one-liner jokes, as well as his \"Fuzzy Memories\" and \"My Big Thick Novel\" shorts, and for his deadpan delivery. Although many assume otherwise, Handey is a real person, not a pen name or character."
