Steve Martin Tweets

From this afternoon, a series of Tweets from Steve Martin:

Very short Tweet session today, but I need your help….

Please, if you’re driving, don’t do this. Or hand your phone to a passenger, or just toss it out the window. Open the window first, though.

Okay, here’s the story:

My wife doesn’t know I’m Tweeting. She thinks I’m writing a screenplay…

…So if you see me on the street, please say, “How’s the “screenplay” going, Steve?” We’ll both do a “thumbs up” and keep moving….

Could we have a rehearsal? Please say, “How’s the “screenplay” going, Steve?”

Excellent. Don’t over emphasize “screenplay” because she’s not stupid and that would be a giveaway. No winking either.

It’s not “How’s the SCREENPLAY going?” Bad. Amateur.

Remember, I’m a professional actor. Let me do the heavy lifting. Practice your thumbs up in front of a mirror at home.

Some of you will make the mistake of pointing your thumb down. Don’t worry. A few tries will make it perfect.

I’m now thinking it would be smart to mention the name of the screenplay, “Po’Boys for Dinner.”

A po’ boy is a Sloppy Joe sandwich, and dinner, in the UK, is a fairly formal meal. The idea of po’ boys for dinner is a great movie idea.

Let’s try again. “How’s the “screenplay,” “Po’ Boys for Dinner,” going, Steve?” (don’t forget your “thumbs up” bit).

Some of you are saying “poor” boys. It’s po’ boys. Very misleading to say poor boys. No movie there.

Thank to you all. Just sold “Po’Boys” idea to HBO.

So happy Steve Martin found Twitter. Perfect vehicle for him.

For those who didn’t see it or don’t remember, here is my Happy 65th Birthday Post to him from a few months back.
