Customer Reviews

A laugh at every subject

Like his teacher Uncle Milty , Henny Youngman had a line or a story for every subject you could think of. I can see him now fiddling away, then stopping , flinging out the joke, and then continuing to fiddle. Henny did not always hit the mark, and the book has more than its share of clinkers, but there are lots of laughs here also, especially for those who remember Henny with affection.

A One Liner Treasury

For those who remember Henny Youngman, you will laugh yourselves silly reading through this book of some of his very best. It seems he has a one-liner for every occasion and best of all, he keeps us laughing without the use of four letter words that so many comedians today think necessary to be funny. This book is Henny Youngman at his best. A real treasury of great humor.
