From the Introduction
People often ask "Dave, what is the best thing about being a professional humor columnist?"
I always "The best thing is that I can help others and make the world a better place."
Then everyone has a hearty laugh, because, of course, I am lying. In fact, that's one of the great things about being a humor You can lie! You get PAID to lie! What other profession can say that?
I have a wonderful job.
By any objective standard of measurement, there is no better profession than humor columnist. That is why so many people want my job. It looks so easy! In fact, as you read the columns in this book, you may find yourself "Hey, I could do this. Any random person could do this!"
That is where you are wrong, my friend. It takes a very special kind of random person to be a humor columnist. Every year, hundreds of thousands of people try their hand at this demanding profession. After a few months, almost all of them have given up and gone back to the ninth grade.
