American Humor

Absolutely one of the best books I have ever read about jokes and it hits on a surprising aspect, that of intimacy between those who "get" the joke. A very studied author, but not pretentious or esoteric at all. A lover and student of jokes with some unique and interesting perspectives. He has some killer jokes too, veering toward the religious/ Jewish side a bit. Wonderful and honest examination of ethic jokes and is it ok for jokes to offend and upset and disturb us? This is a guy I would like to hang out with and have a few drinks and listen and tell some jokes. Lord, how I love a good joke and so does Ted Cohen!
