Steve Martin has been a big name in the comedy world since he started doing stand-up in the 1970s. His hilarious turns in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, The Jerk, and Father of the Bride, along with plenty of other movies that are remembered and loved by millions, have made him a staple of Hollywood’s comedy scene. Today, Martin is less active when it comes to making movies, but he is still spreading his hilarity through his autobiography, Born Standing Up: A Comic’s Life, an insightful look at his childhood and how he got to where he is today, and his Twitter account, @SteveMartinToGo. His nearly four and a half million followers get to enjoy pictures and stories about his life, his work, and his interesting love of banjos, all shortened down to fewer than one hundred and forty characters. In honor of Steve Martin’s 68th birthday, here are his top ten funniest tweets. Happy birthday, Steve Martin!

Just because we're leaving some letters off, doesn't mean we still don't use good gramma.

Getting lots of admiring looks in my new denim short-shirts and halter top.
