    About this ebook

    First published in book form in 1921, this essay collection offers a multitude of witty examples of the humor found in everyday life. Whether he’s pondering or ranting, Benchley makes wry observations on such topics as energy conservation, the game of bridge, and learning to drive. They are as funny today as they were ninety years ago.
