A book about being funny from someone who really isn't.
This book swapped between common sense, absurdity and formulating corny jokes. Making it It feel like a book about being funny from someone who really wasn't. I believe this book was well written, however the only content of real value came at the end and I have read the same content in another of the authors books.
