A propos de cet article

168 pp. Clean, fresh copy with very light shelf wear. Conveniently categorized and ranging in length from one line to three pages, the writings in this commodious compilation help you make sure that your, well, waste time isn't time wasted. Popping into the facilities for a couple of minutes? Enjoy an obscure and edifying anecdote from the quirky "Shifts of Wit" or infamous last words from "Going Out in Style." In for the longer haul, tone up your mental muscle with a short mystery from "Awaiting Your Solution," take a frontal-lobe-lengthening "Trivia Test" or ponder a "Pen-Free Puzzle Poser." Ken Weber is a master of minutiae, a blacksmith of irony, an unrivaled archivist of arcanum, a head librarian of head liberation -- he's a hoot!

From Shifts of Wit No question about Muhammed Ali's reputation as "the greatest." But on the downside, the mighty always have farther to fall. Shortly after defeating Sonny Liston for the heavyweight title, Ali boarded a Pan Am flight for London. Minutes before takeoff, a flight attendant reminded Ali to fasten his seatbelt." Superman don't need no seatbelt," said Ali. "Superman don't need no airplane, either," retorted the flight attendant. Ali did up his belt. From For Deposit in Your "One-Up" Account aposiopesis (a-POZ-ee-oh-PEE-sis) : The act of lapsing into complete silence in the middle of telling a story. From Shifts of (Unintended) Wit Lost donkey, answers to the name of Harold. Very attractive, dearly beloved by owner. Last seen in a nun's outfit. (The Bulletin, Antwerp, Belgium).…
