of funniness and examples of both helpful and harmful humor. It describes the relevant
comedic and psychological rules for making humor effective. The book points out the
danger signs for offensive humor and how to make the decision to 'say it or stuff
it.' Examples of successful and unsuccessful humor from comedians to politicians are
