Excerpt from More Toasts: Jokes, Stories and Quotations The subject of humor has an attraction peculiarly its own, because it deals with a mystery which yet is pleasantly interwoven with the daily life of each one of us. We often say of one of our neighbors that he has no sense of humour. But he often laughs; he never spends a day without at least trying to laugh, tho it remains but an attempt, an effort, an aspiration after something which he seems to have lost but wishes to recover. Either, that is, he remains grave when others laugh, or he laughs, as Horace says, with alien jaws, by constraint rather than because he cannot help it. He has a confused idea that it is expected of him. Such laughter is apparently the outcome of an uneasy sense of duty, a dismal travesty of the real thing. Certainly humour is a singularly elusive thing, and I doubt if anyone alive can explain it; but its elusiveness gives it something of its charm; and, moreover, the illustrations which are necessary to an inquiry into its nature, its scope and meaning, are apt to be amusing without being irrelevant.

Excerpt from Laughter: An Essay on the Meaning of the Comic The book has been highly successful in France, where it is in its seventh edition. It has been translated into Russian, Polish, and Swedish. German and Hungarian translations are under preparation. Its success is due partly to the novelty of the explanation Offered of the comic, and partly also to the fact that the author incidentally discusses questions Of still greater interest and importance. Thus, one Of the best known and most frequently quoted passages of the book is that portion of the last chapter (pages 150 in which the author outlines a general theory Of art.

One of the BBC's '100 Novels That Shaped Our World' 'My favourite book of all time... it stays with you long after you have read it - for your whole life, in fact' Billy Connolly A monument to sloth, rant and contempt, a behemoth of fat, flatulence and furious suspicion of anything modern - this is Ignatius J. Reilly of New Orleans, noble crusader against a world of dunces. The ordinary folk of New Orleans seem to think he is unhinged. Ignatius ignores them, heaving his vast bulk through the city's fleshpots in a noble crusade against vice, modernity and ignorance. But his momma has a nasty surprise in store for him: Ignatius must get a job. Undaunted, he uses his new-found employment to further his mission - and now he has a pirate costume and a hot-dog cart to do it with... Never published during his lifetime, John Kennedy Toole's hilarious satire, A Confederacy of Dunces is a Don Quixote for the modern age, and this Penguin Modern Classics edition includes a foreword by Walker Percy. 'A pungent work of slapstick, satire and intellectual incongruities ... it is nothing less than a grand comic fugue' The New York Times

Excerpt from The Wit and Humor of America, Vol. 9 They all climbed up on a high board-fence Nine little Goblins, with green-glass eyes Nine little Goblins that had no sense, And couldn't tell coppers from cold mince pies; And they all climbed up on the fence, and sat And I asked them what they were staring at. And the first one said, as he scratched his head With a queer little arm that reached out of his ear And rasped its claws in his hair so red This is What this little arm is fer! And he scratched and stared, and the next one said How on earth do you scratch your head? And he laughed like the screech of a rusty hinge Laughed and laughed till his face grew black; And when he choked, with a final twinge Of his stifling laughter, he thumped his back With a fist that grew on the end of his tail Till the breath came back to his lips so pale. And the third little Goblin leered round at me And there were no lids on his eyes at all And he clucked one eye, and he says, says he, What is the style of your socks this fall? And he clapped his heels - and I sighed to see That he had hands where his feet should be. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Psychology of Laughter and Comedy Most of the philosophers and psychologists who have addressed themselves to the subject Of laughter, have dashed boldly into the midst Of it, and there dealt about them manfully with the weapons that came to hand. I 'am, I confess it, Of a fainter heart, and would lay out and take the measure Of the weapons to be used in the fray. For in truth the subject Of laughter is a battle-ground, strewn with the bodies Of heroes and encumbered with the debris of many a brave system Of philosophy. It is prudent to reconnoitre the field before adventuring. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Humorous Speaker: A Book of Humorous Selections for Reading and Speaking Court history we read that a crown was paid to one who had succeeded in making the king, Edward II., laugh - a medicine which was doubtless more valu able and efficacious than a dozen prescriptions from the pharmacopmia. A hearty laugh is medicinal and remedial, and Hippocrates believed and de clared that a physician should possess a ready humor as a part of the equipment for healing, and Galen informs us that Esculapius himself wrote comedies and commanded them to be read to his patients for the promotion of a healthful circula tion of the blood. A noted physician of Richmond, Virginia, Dr. Robert Coleman, whose success was eminent, was said to have accomplished as many cures by his' wit and humor as by the drugs he pre scribed. His entrance into a sick-chamber brought an atmosphere of cheerfulness, which assisted the receptivity of the patient, and, to quote the homely comparison of Mother Hubbard's dog, many a friend who left a sick one with the thought that nothing more was needed but a coffin, returned to find him laughing and on the highway to recovery. The world is not without illustrious examples and advocates of the excellence and benefit of a hearty laugh. The emperor Titus insisted that he had lost a day if he had passed it without laughing, and Chamfort was accustomed to tell his friends that the most utterly useless and lost of all days was the one upon which he had not laughed.
