Leo Rosten's carnival of wit : and wisdom, plus wisecracks, ad-libs, malaprops, puns, one-liners, quips, epigrams, boo-boos, dazzling ironies and wizardries of wording, plus surprising tidbits from politics, philosophy, biography, and (yes!) gossip - from Aristotle to Groucho Marx / compiled and manicured by Leo Rosten.
This collection of more than 5,000 short witticisms is a fun and satisfying assortment of gags, one-liners, puns, malapropisms, satire, definitions, typos, and transpositions collected by writer/scholar Rosten and arranged in subject categories. The preface analyzes wit and outlines and exemplifies its most common types.
