Though the title suggests something more thematically organized, this is just a collection of Roger's writings, probably from his weekly newspaper column. As such, many of the references are to events long forgotten. There is still much humor to be found here in terms of clever turns of phrases and jokes, but little of interest at the essay level. While not absent, the number of cringeworthy stereotype heavy references is surprisingly low for a book of this period.

Only for those interested in the history of American humor. ( )
