Overview

"This collection of borrowed and original material runs the gamut from the best dinner-party humour to quips about lawyers and agents to playful barbs at celebrities, such as Ernest Borgnine, Richard Nixon, Billy Graham and Sophia Loren. Asimov shares his own philosophy of joke-telling: explains certain nuances of the telling; what makes material funny and why; how to choose material to match the occasion; and how to use accents for comic emphasis. Isaac Asimov is the author of ""Asimov's Treasury of Humour""."
