From the interview with Stephen King for EW:

"Arguably, the film rights lapse — so we’ll see. We’re looking into that. I’m not saying I would put a stop to the project, because I’m sort of a nice guy. When I was a kid, my mother said, ‘Stephen if you were a girl, you’d always be pregnant.’

This is priceless - it made me laugh out loud. No wonder he has such an excellent sense of humour!

A truly wonderful interview; If y'all have not read it yet, PLEASE do so ASAP!! His mom really had him pegged. Mr. King's humor in his books along with his 'horror' make for a fascinating and entertaining read everytime!

As for sk's humor I always think of the chapter in UTD about the Corgi, and his "hoovering" the spilled popcorn from behind the couch. (That chapter, which I think is chapter 12, is written to perfection, imho.) I also think about the typewriter which gradually loses letters Paul Sheldon has to use in Misery.
