LAUGHING STOCK by Bennett -- Ed. Corf

LAUGHING STOCK

By

Publisher: Grosset & Dunlap

The phenomenal success of Try and Stop Me plus Bennet Cerf's popular department in Set. Rev. Lit. makes this a particularly good $1.00's worth. Over 500 jokes, new and old -- chestnuts repolished, gags of the literary and professional world, some originals, some picked up from correspondents, standard sources of Irish, Scotch, Jewish Negro jokes -- and an amazing adherence to his policy to exclude ridicule that could cause offense, and sex that is simply amut. Some of the material appeared in the Pocket Book of Jokes.
