You're Entitled
Perhaps it's the heat. Or maybe the humidity. Whatever the cause, people everywhere are coming down with a highly contagious disease--the latest running gag. Right now it is the Thinnest Books, a joke started by Comedian Morey Amsterdam. Thin books are insults between covers, and thinking them up is as hard to resist as a second handful of peanuts. Samples:
My Future in Boxing, by Sonny Listen
The Joys of Retirement, by Nikita Khrushchev
Growing Old Gracefully, by Little Orphan Annie
Memoirs of a Lonely Boyhood, by Robert Kennedy
My Years in the White House, by Barry Goldwater
Some are anonymous:
Friends of Charles de Gaulle
War Heroes of Italy
Who's Who in Tijuana
Laundries That Sew Buttons Back On
Friends Who Ask You to Bring Your Kids Along
Psychoanalysts Who Tell You You're Cured
