"A Penguin original"--P. 4 of cover.
Includes index.
"Jokes are a bit like electro-convulsive therapy. Laughter does to the brain what a good sneeze does to the nasal passages. If you read this entire volume in one sitting, it will be the equivalent of ten years in psychoanalysis. You will encounter bigotry, sexism, ageism, blondeism and homophobia.
So enter these pages at your peril, knowing that every time you split your sides you're having a laugh at someone else's expense..." -- Back cover
