Byrne's own wit, diligent research, and creativity combine to form a fresh go-to reference that serves readers better than Google'no Wi-Fi required. The 2,548 Wittiest Things Anybody Ever Said is an all-new collection of clever quips and laugh-out-loud punch lines from Gracie Allen to Frank Zappa, on such topics as sex, divorce, religion, fashion, animals, and money: STEVE MARTIN: "I'd do anything for a good body except exercise and eat right."

This compilation, to be enjoyed by generations young and old, deserves a place of honor on every language lover's bookshelf.
