In this magnificent compendium of short, sharp quips, the wonderful Des MacHale - lifetime collector of funny remarks and devastating repartee - has organized his material by theme: from medicine and doctors to media and films, sports, politics, love and marriage, sex, food, education and many other subjects. As well as brilliant quotes from classic humorists such as Oscar Wilde and Woody Allen, we have Noel Coward, Winston Churchill, Lenny Bruce, Rita Rudner, Groucho Marx, W.C. Fields, Spike Milligan and hundreds more. On marriage: I was married by a judge, but should have asked for a jury. - Groucho Marx. On places: I went to Naples to see Vesuvius and do you know what? The bloody fools had let it go out. - Spike Milligan.
