Features: What is humor? Ask a thousand people, and you might get a thousand answers. However, when people need humor, they almost always think of Mark Twain. Mark Twain's pen has the magic of turning stone into gold, making vulgar urban life meaningful and worth savoring. In Mark Twain's satirical novels, a candidate running for the New York State Elder Council is subjected to by his political opponents, being libeled in newspapers as a "notorious perjurer," a "thief from Montana," a "drunkard," a "dirty," and a "disgusting extortionist." Later, the political opponents "instigated nine toddlers of different skin colors," rushed to the election platform, and hugged the candidate's legs, calling him "Dad." The candidate gave in and withdrew from the election.
