Customer Reviews

Delightful Book

Records the pithy sayings and jokes of Dan May. The aphorisms and witticisms are worthy of Mark Twain. For example, when asked how many people work at his factory, he answers, "About half." When asked, on another occasion, how many work there broken down by sex, he says, "None broken down by sex, but some by alcohol." May was an important figure in Nashville business and government in the mid-20th Century. A very amusing yet meaningful book.

Pearls of humor combined with a personal touch

I've read it cover-to-cover several times. It's a top-notch collection of stories on any and every topic you can name. Imminently readable, funny and relevant to life.
