Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from American Wit and Humor, Vol. 1: A Collection From Various Sources Classified Under Appropriate Subject-Headings American periodicals abound in witty sayings. Not only the comic papers but almost every newspaper, whether secular or religious, has its funny column. Every community has one or more men who are noted for witty sayings and quaint observations. Almost without exception Americans are quick to recognize and appreciate wit. Jokes do not require a label in America. This may be owing to the cosmopolitan origin of our people. Coming from many other countries and welded in a common citizenship the "bump of humor" has become abnormal. Here an Irishman loses his brogue, but not his wit. The more phlegmatic German learns to perpetrate puns over his pipe and mug, and the Englishman does not require a night´s reflection to discover the point of a repartee. Many of these bright sayings deserve a longer life than is afforded by the ephemeral newspaper. To that end some of them are presented in this volume.
