Synopsis:
Some of the most famous wits in history have taken to adapting or building upon well-worn and everyday expressions that we all know and giving them new life by subverting them for their own purposes. The compilers of this book have sought out the finest of these revised proverbs and phrases from Sam Goldwyn's mixed metaphors to John Lennon's nonsense and Dorothy Parker's barbed girl-power cynicism.
Review: "proverbs usually read just as well backwards or jumbled up" Frank Sullivan
