Features: This book analyzes various forms of humor from ancient and modern times, making people laugh out loud. It teaches you about—proper humor, humor that creates a certain atmosphere, the subtle humor of setting up traps, the cold humor of a "smile in the face of a frown," the humor of homophone misunderstandings like "chickens and ducks talking," the gentle satire that doesn't bite, the humor of stopping just short of the mark, and the humor of logical reasoning that turns rigid language into something smooth and colorful.
