640 jokes, anecdotes, and limericks, complete with notes on how to tell them. From one of America's most beloved writers comes this lifetime harvest of anecdotes, jokes, puns, and scandalous verse. From the original shaggy-dog story to famous putdowns, from the cerebral whimsies of Talmudic wit to the bawdiness of the barracks, all of Isaac Asimov's favourites are included. He also offers anecdotes from his own experiences on the lecture platform and at parties great and small. Weaving personal commentary throughout the tales, Asimov proves gleanings from his philosphy of what humor (and Life) is all about.
