She sat at her computer
on a dark and stormy night.

“Please read the model number,”

About the Book
The subtitle for this collection reflects the fact that some of the entries originated as decades-old jokes spread by word of mouth or later as prose--often at great length--in newspapers and magazines. Radio, television, and the Internet have served to speed the transmission and recycling of humor to the point that one can sometimes hear and read the same amusing stories in different languages. Rhymed distillations of those stories supplement original compositions in this collection. None have been published in this form before.
