Writing anything and calling it "humor" is setting yourself up for disaster. Everyone has different senses of humor, so you are not going to make everyone laugh. See, I think I'm hilarious, but I am sure a lot of you don't get me. You should really see my facial expressions, they help.
Ian Frazier (the genius that he is) decides one day that he will assemble a collection of funny writing, by funny people, edit it, and make it into a book - which he titled Humor Me: An Anthology of Funny Contemporary Writing (Plus Some Great Old Stuff Too). That way, if you hate it, he won't feel too bad about himself. Kidding Ian, the collection is rather amusing.
He includes comic stars such as Steve Martin and Jack Handey. The pieces are from the past thirty years, so many age groups will enjoy this collection. The 'some great old stuff too' includes Mark Twain and Elizabeth Bishop. If you like old funny, a little less old funny, and new funny, you will love this book because it is funnnnnnny. The entries range from sentences to pages, which makes it a phenomenal bathroom book. And you know you can always use a good bathroom book.
