A brilliant Irish comedian, Hal Roach, believed humor is able to cure all ills. As I happen to share his opinion, I will try, starting with this first book, to give you lads a good laugh. Here I will describe, the way I see best, the cracked-up old ideas that, when we weren't looking, brought humanity to its knees. Mind you, some of you lads won't like all the jokes presented in this book, but our personal feelings must come in second place when it comes to humanity as a whole. As it becomes evident as the book progresses, the need for all of us to stop joking and messing around with this world has become more pressing than ever.
