How to be a Comedian for Fun and Profit

This book (purchased at Half Price, of course) is a primer on how to be the worst comedian of all time. Moreover, it's a step by step guide on how to be Neil Hamburger. Here's a sampling of the jokes:

My wife's meals are something to behold. Not to eat, just to behold.

When she sets a table everything looks so good I don't know what to force down first.

I bought her one of those infra-red stoves that cooks a meal in thirty seconds. It still tastes lousy, but you know it quicker.

As a side note here, there is no book ever published more tailored to Will Scovill's tastes.

Ya'll Motherfuckers Said What?:

You are correct sir. You know I went shopping around half.com for some of these with the intention of building a terrible act around them and performing at Cobb's. The best one I found was a workbook written by Pauly Shore's brother.
