Take My Wife, Please!: Henny Youngman?s Giant Book of Jokes

It was said of the late Henny Yougnman that he could make the Sphinx crack a smile. For seventy years he tossed out one-liners that sent waves of laughter through audiences all over the country; a Henny Youngman nightclub appearance guaranteed a sold-out engagement. A vaudeville headliner, Youngman also went on to conquer radio and television.
In Take My Wife, Please! Youngmanâ€™s enduring routines are collected in one volume. Arapid-fire comic, he could tell six, seven, sometimes even eight jokes a minute, like:
Walked into a store and said, Â“This is my wifeâ€™s birthday. Iâ€™d like to buy her a beautiful fountain pen.â€ The clerk winked at me and said, Â“A little surprise, huh?â€ I said, Â“Yes, sheâ€™s expecting a Cadillac.â€

You meet the craziest people on the subway. One guy sitting next to me kept saying, Â“Call me a doctorÂ—call me a doctor.â€ I asked, Â“Whatâ€™s the matter, are you sick?â€ He said, Â“No, I just graduated from medical school.â€

Youngman began his career with the intention of becoming a concert violinist. When he discovered that he had a talent for making people laugh, the violin became a prop. He was called the King of the One-Liners for good reason, and this collection shows why.
