To comedians, 'material'--their jokes--has always been precious,
worthy of protecting and preserving. On stage, a good vaudeville
routine could last years as it was performed on tour across the
country. On radio, a year's vaudeville material might be fodder for
one week's broadcast. Bob Hope used new material not only for his
weekly radio series, but also for the several live charity
appearances he made each week.
Organized by the stages of his life, accompanied by black-and-white
photographs, this book gives readers a chance to enjoy the very
best of Hope's jokes, from his early years in vaudeville, his
top-rated radio show in the '30s and '40s, his legendary television
appearances, and much more.
A captivating, carefully woven tale of village eccentricities -
related with hilarious, near-the-knuckle innuendo. Yet this
fictional story may take you to a place that is recognisable. A
most intriguing and unusually well-crafted piece of work that at
times will reduce you to tears of joy.
Every woman has either dated a jerk, or knows a friend that has
dated one. But avoiding the jerks and attracting a decent man is
actually a lot easier than you think. Forget watching reruns of
"Sex and the City" or chatting with your girlfriends late at night.
In this guidebook, a self-professed jerk comes straight out, speaks
the truth, and systematically explains how to spot, avoid, and say
goodbye to jerks; tell if a guy is wasting your time; deal with
players hunt for "good" men (and where to hunt for them). You'll
also learn how to avoid common mistakes, such as overrating initial
chemistry, inadvertently hurting a man's ego, losing a good guy's
interest and much more. Full of witty satire and sarcasm. Get ready
to laugh out loud with this hilarious "anti-game." What people had
to say about this book: "Hey Willie, this is so entertaining Ha ha
you have a great sense of humor, and your statements are so true "
- Denise "We all know no one likes a tattletale. Hate the game, not
the player. Every girl Tiger slept with knew he was married. Who is
worse?" - Steve the player "That was such an enjoyable and
enlightening read. I mean it's well written, witty, and one would
think some of it is common sense, but sometimes people (i.e. me )
need common sense to slap them in the face " - Cheryl "Willie
whistle blower has a nice ring to it. You know someone's going to
kick your butt one day? Good work " - A guy Willie no longer
parties with "I don't understand you. You go through university,
build a promising career. Now you quit your job and write this
book? Why would you tell the whole world you're an asshole?" -

What's morality all about? Deciding what's right or wrong has never
been more difficult, or more complicated and this little book aims
to make the reader think, reflect, and laugh at the different
approaches to thinking morally.
In the whimsical tradition he is known for, humorist Dennis Ford
once again embarks on an amusing exploration into the captivating
worlds of science, literature, history, and popular culture-all
without ever leaving the comfy air-conditioned interior of his
Saturn Ion.
In the style of his previous work, "Thinking About Everything,"
Ford shares a medley of new musings on the worries of the world and
the unique friendliness of San Antonio as he plays peek-a-boo with
a spider, attempts to climb a rainbow, and captures a leprechaun.
Ever the helpful humorist, Ford continues on a journey of
thoughtful adventures through the mundane and esoteric as he
explains how the postal service can mail itself into a profitable
future, why fantastical lies can make elections more interesting,
and a way through which one can acquire a window seat on the ferry
to the Great Beyond. Included are "Excellent Groaners," a
compilation of puns, and "Professor Fawcett's Notorious Lecture on
Test-Irrelevant Thoughts," a learned presentation on the
psychological perils of test anxiety told partly in acronyms.
"Miles of Thoughts" offers an amusing glimpse into one man's
upside-down world as he commutes through the beautiful scenery of
the New Jersey Pine Barrens and contemplates life.

and wrong are established.
This is a humorous book on marriage, showing how a guy can live
with a woman,by teasing, joking, pulling pranks & small capers,
to forever keeping her wondering what-in-the-heck he might do next
& usually can get away with it all, as long as he smiles &
says "The devil made me do it !".

At one time, Razor was a strapping, athletic, and active young man.
Now, many years later, he has finally come to the realization that
getting older really pisses him off. Now pear-shaped, slow, and
forgetful, Razor is convinced he is not a pretty sight. Worse yet,
Squatty Body-his lovely, strong-willed wife-is a real pain in his
butt. In his first collection of humorous anecdotes and satirical
commentary, based on real-life situations and current issues,
retired teacher and avid storyteller R. D. Donaldson shares a
delightful compilation of musings both hilarious and contemplative
that highlight the adventures of Razor and Squatty Body-two
characters loosely based on Donaldson and his own wife. Razor was
born on the golf course and will do anything to win his opponents'
quarters-including verbally slashing the enemy. Squatty Body is a
deficient chef who has burned boiling water, screwed up buttered
toast, and killed the neighbor's dog with her less-than-desirable
cooking. Is the whole world going crazy? After all is said and
done, Razor may just prove to everyone that he is the only sane one
left standing in the midst of a bunch of nuts.

Dee Quemby's book is not just a wonderfully warm read but a very
actual account of the most demanding and difficult life in show
business, that of the COMEDIAN! I told Dee many moons ago that she
should enter the idiom that is the easiest life in showbusiness,
that of the TV drama actor. That of course she has done to grand
acclaim. Get the book it's a great read! BILL maynard Deirdre was
my first dancing teacher for 13 years and I owe her a great debt.
She is a very talented performer in her own right and it would be
great to dance with her again. I still think there's something very
big around the corner for her! Stephen Mear (Olivier winning
choreographer of Mary Poppins) Dee was brilliant as Emmerdale's
Lulu Dingle. But if she'd had access to Lulu's crystal ball and
been able to see how tough it would be for a mainstream comedienne
to get a break in modern TV, would she have persevered? Dee's book
is moving, honest and funny. Garry Bushell (tv critic)
