This, then, is a book of humor. If wit and satire manage to work their way in, it is without my consent. The aim of this book is the communication of the comic; its object is to make the reader laugh. If the reader should pause to ponder or philosophize, that is his right, but it is not my business. This editor's chief concern is with such pieces in prose, and occasionally in verse, which have made readers grin, smile, chortle, chirrup, giggle, titter, crow, cackle, shout- where's that thesaurus? Ah yes- leap, roar, burst and die with laughter.
