Title: Humor is Perishable
Review: Humor is perishable. A fresh picked tomato does not taste the same as one that has been hanging around for two months. The essay from which the book takes its name was written in the previous century, 1932 to be exact. What may have been good stand up in Nero's time is not exactly a gut buster today.My family subscribes to the NEW YORKER and is delighted by its cartoons and articles. But I just did not find this book at all funny. It could have been that when I read it I was suffering a cold that would have killed a lesser man. Or it could be that rumble seat jokes are just not that funny anymore. You'll have to make the decision.
